2014 Map of Mount Judea

About this map

Mount Judea sits at the heart of this Newton County landscape, where the high ridges of the Boston Mountains drop toward the winding Buffalo National River. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage network of Big Creek and the Left Fork Big Creek, with small communities like Vendor and Piercetown established along the valley floors. The terrain is defined by a series of family-named hollows and prominent overlooks such as Red Rock Point and Riddle Point. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of small burial grounds, including the Mont Judea Cem, Sexton Cem, and Smith Cem, many of which remain adjacent to old mountain roads like Ar-123. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely protected within the Ozark National Forest, dominated by peaks like George Mountain and Ricketts Mtn.
