About this map

The town of McCrory serves as a central hub in this section of Woodruff County, defined by its position along the Missouri Pacific railroad. To the west, the community of Patterson sits near the winding course of the Cache River, an area characterized by many bayous and oxbow lakes such as Hurricane Lake and White Lake. The landscape is a mix of agricultural fields and low-lying wetlands, dotted with small country churches and family burial grounds including Fakes Chapel Cem and the Morning View Ch Cem.

Transport and industry patterns are evident in the presence of a Landing Strip, a Gaging Station on the river, and the Fairground south of Patterson. Further north, the settlement of Overcup sits near the Jackson Co Woodruff Co line. This survey provides a look at a region where drainage and navigation were critical to local life, visible through features like the Old Channel and Little Bayou DeView.
