2017 Map of Murray

About this map

The Little Buffalo River carves a deep path through the northern reaches of the Ozark National Forest, where the remote settlement of Murray stands at a convergence of mountain hollows. This high country of Newton County is defined by prominent elevations such as Shiloh Mtn and Henderson Mtn, with the northern edge of the map dipping into the Buffalo National River corridor. Genealogy and local history are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem and Snow Cem, which reflect the community's dispersed rural roots. Narrow roads like Walker Mtn Rd and Newton 8625 Rd navigate the steep grades of Rainbow Bluff and Long Point, tracing a landscape where timber and terrain have long shaped human movement and settlement.
