About this map

Push Mountain and Tassel Spring Mountain dominate this mid-century view of the Arkansas Ozarks along the Baxter and Stone county line. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Ozark National Forest, where a network of remote waterways like Birmingham Hollow, Cripple Turkey Creek, and Barkshed Creek carve through the limestone terrain. Human presence is sparse and largely concentrated along the higher elevations and ridgelines. Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as Acklin Cem near Sneeds and a prominent Lookout Tower on the western heights. The map records a transition in accessibility, showing a mix of established routes like Beaver Road alongside numerous miles of Jeep Trails that penetrate the dense forest. Recreational and industrial markers, including the Barkshed Picnic Area and a Gravel Pit, highlight the varied use of this rugged timberland.
