Pea Ridge Battlefield and its commemorative landscape dominate the center of this survey, including the site of the historic Elkhorn Tavern near Elkhorn Mountain. The map details the border between Arkansas and Missouri, showing the complex terrain of Roller Ridge and the deep cuts of Walnut Hollow and Sugar Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated around the town of Pea Ridge and the village of Avoca, which is linked to the regional economy via the St Louis San Francisco railroad line. This 1950s record is particularly valuable for its density of small community landmarks, from rural sanctuaries like Tucks Chapel and Freedom Ch to family-named burying grounds such as Buttram Cem and Ford Cem. The presence of the Twelve Corners community and numerous springs like Winton Spring further illustrates the established rural life in Benton County during the mid-century.
