2011 Map of Murray

About this map

The Little Buffalo River and its East Fork carve a complex system of ridges and hollows through this portion of Newton County. The small settlements of Shiloh, Murray, and Wayton are the primary points of habitation, connected by winding mountain roads like Murray Rd and Daniels Ridge Rd. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, featuring landmarks such as Shiloh Mountain, Taylor Mountain, and the prominent Rainbow Bluff. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including Shiloh Cemetery, Snow Cemetery, and Rich Cemetery, which serve as markers of the families who settled these upland coves. The names of the terrain, from Douthard Hollow to Haunt Hollow, reflect the local nomenclature of the Ozark interior. The map also documents numerous forestry or service roads, identified by numeric codes, providing a detailed record of the access network used for land management at this time.
