2014 Map of Omaha

About this map

Omaha and the surrounding Ozark landscape are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows along the state line between Arkansas and Missouri. The settlement of Cricket is positioned near the winding course of Cricket Cr, while the village of Burlington sits further south near the Burlington Lookout Tower. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from these historic settlements to a terrain carved by Cranenest Cr and Barren Fork. Numerous family-named landmarks such as Lee Hollow, McGill Hollow, and Keys Hollow point to a deep-rooted local genealogy tied to specific drainages and ridges. The map illustrates how transportation routes like Old Hwy 65 N follow the natural contours of the land, connecting smaller locales like Crest and New Hope through a landscape of distinctive features like Cloverdale Ridge and Blowing Spring Hollow.
