About this map

Millwood Lake dominates the southwestern quadrant of this Howard County landscape, where the Saline River meets the inundated bottomlands. The map documents a series of small, established communities and rural crossroads, including Saratoga in the south and Tollette to the east. These settlements are linked by a network of local routes like Ar-27 and Bright Star Rd, serving a region defined by its creek systems, such as Mine Cr and Plum Cr.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Shiloh Cem near the northern boundary and High Hill Cem in the southeast. The terrain transitions from the low-lying waters of the reservoir to more defined landforms like the Devils Backbone near the community of Okay. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land divisions in the early 21st century, illustrating the relationship between the evolving reservoir shoreline and older inland settlements like Schaal and Allbrook.
