2020 Map of Murray

About this map

Murray and Wayton anchor this corner of Newton County, where the topography is defined by high peaks and deeply cut hollows. In the north, the Buffalo National River corridor follows the path of Running Cr, while the Little Buffalo River winds through the central valley beneath Rainbow Bluff. The map provides a clear record of the high-country road network, with routes like Murray Rd and Newton 8625 Rd connecting isolated settlements across the ridges. Genealogy interest centers on the area's upland burials, including Shiloh Cem on the slopes of Shiloh Mtn, Snow Cem near Taylor Mtn, and Rich Cem in the south near the Ozark National Forest boundary. This landscape of named peaks such as Henderson Mtn and Daniels Mtn highlights the survival of family-named landmarks in the Arkansas Ozarks well into the twenty-first century.
