About this map

The Buffalo River winds through the northern portion of this quadrangle, forming a central artery for the rugged landscape within the Buffalo National River. Significant elevation changes are marked by prominent heights such as Judea Mtn, Ricketts Mtn, and George Mountain. The settlement of Mount Judea serves as a primary local hub, surrounded by numerous smaller communities including Vendor, Piercetown, and Carver.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data in the numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Sexton Cem, Ricketts Cem, and McCutchen Cem. The topography is defined by numerous hollows like Roy Spring Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, which follow the many tributaries feeding into Big Creek and Left-Fork Big Creek. Much of the southern terrain is protected within the Ozark National Forest, maintaining the wilderness character of the region.
