About this map

Acklin Cem sits within a complex network of high ridges and deep hollows in the northern reaches of the Ozark National Forest. This modern survey documents a landscape defined by protected wilderness and conservation, containing significant portions of the Leatherwood Wilderness and the North Sylamore Creek Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Push Mtn and natural passes such as Caroline Gap, which have historically dictated movement through the Baxter and Stone County borderlands.

Waterways like Sneeds Creek and North Prong Middle Creek carve through the limestone-rich Ozark Plateau, while secondary routes like Push Mountain Rd and Barkshed Rd trace the narrow ridge-tops. The map provides a clear record of current forest management boundaries and protected riparian corridors, highlighting the geographic isolation that has preserved the area's natural character into the twenty-first century.
