About this map

Osage Creek and its many tributaries carve a complex network of ridges and hollows across the Carroll and Boone County line in this northern Arkansas landscape. Small settlements like Delmar and Red Bank serve as the primary human centers, connected by a winding web of county roads and Us-412. The terrain is characterized by steep-sided features such as Winding Staircase Hollow, Needle Eye Mtn, and the prominent Pilot Knob.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Hilltop Cem, Dog Branch Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, which often represent the early family homesteads of the Ozark highlands. The mapping reveals a land of vertical extremes, from the heights of Holden Mtn and Piney Mtn down to the secluded basins of Denton Cove and Terrapin Cove. Water remains the central force of the topography, defined by named springs like Big Spring and the artificial impoundment of Brewer Lake.
