About this map

Mount Judea sits at the heart of this Newton County landscape, where the Big Creek valley intersects with a complex network of local roads such as County Rd-41 and City Road 41. The 2011 survey reveals a deeply dissected terrain characterized by named hollows and peaks, including North Pole Knob and Ricketts Mountain. Historically significant points like the Mount Judea Post Office and Vendor Post Office anchor the small settlements, while a high concentration of burial grounds—including Mont Judea Cemetery, Sexton Cemetery, and McCutchen Cemetery—provides a detailed record of local family history and community centers.

The northern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of the Buffalo River, which draws tributaries like Rock Creek and Sheldon Branch through a series of steep hollows such as Stillhouse Hollow and Lime Kiln Hollow. This topography has historically shaped movement through the Ozarks, seen here in the way routes like Co Rd 210 follow the river benches while others climb toward high points like Red Rock Point and Riddle Point.
