1966 Map of Maumee

About this map

The Buffalo River snakes through the southern reaches of this landscape, creating a dramatic corridor of bluffs and hollows along the border of Marion and Searcy Counties. This mid-century survey reveals a rural Ozark interior defined by small clusters of community life, including the Community Hall and Burns Cemetery near Burns Creek. The terrain is marked by a deep network of named drainages like Copper Mine Hollow and Granny Price Hollow, which speak to the area's local history and past mining interests. An Old RR Grade winds along the slopes above Duff Creek, tracing the path of a former mountain rail line that once connected these isolated settlements. Navigation across the rugged water systems is highlighted by Maumee Crossing, while natural features like Elm Cave and Lay Falls punctuate the landscape's diverse topography.
