About this map

Buffalo National River anchors the southeastern corner of this region, where the deep incisions of Edmon Falls and the Natural Bridge define a landscape shaped by the drainage of Ponca Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of winding hollows, such as Miller Hollow and Lawson Hollow, which separate high points like Logan Mtn and Arms Mtn. These geological features dictate the placement of small settlements and transportation routes throughout the area.

Small communities including Dinsmore, George, and Stoverville are situated near vital water sources like Dry Fork and Kenner Creek. For genealogists, the inclusion of Liberty Cem and Hopewell Cem provides specific points of interest for family history research. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundaries between Carroll and Newton and Madison and Newton counties, showing how these political lines follow the high ridges and creek beds of the Ozarks.
