About this map

The Middle Fork Little Red River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Ozark foothills, dictating the placement of early settlements and roads. The small community of Elba serves as a central point in this landscape, situated near the river and Half Moon. To the north, the terrain is marked by high points like Lee Mtn and Blue Mtn, with numerous hollows such as Avery Hollow and Rattlesnake Hollow branching off the main ridges.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify family-named locations and burial sites, including Mabrey Cem near Campbell and Kuykendall Cem west of Oxley. The map details a network of rural routes like Old Stagecoach Rd and Ar-66, which connect older hamlets like Harness and Flag. The presence of Mill Hollow and Sawmill Hollow points to the area's history of timber and milling along the winding river and its tributaries like Hurricane Cr and Linn Cr.
