2024 Map of Natural Dam

About this map

The Mountain Fork and Lee Creek wind through the southern Ozark foothills near the Oklahoma-Arkansas border. This survey details the remote topography of the Ozark National Forest, characterized by high points like Chinkapin Knob, Lick Mtn, and Birchfield Mtn. The small settlement of Natural Dam is situated near the confluence of local streams, while the hamlet of Davidson sits further north along the state line. Genealogists can identify several family burial grounds, including Bateman Cem, Morton Cem, and Hall Cem, which are scattered among the hollows. The map also shows a network of local forest routes such as Cove Creek Rd and Liberty Hill Rd that navigate the ridges and gaps of this landscape.
