About this map

The northern reaches of Bull Shoals Lake dominate this landscape where the Ozark Plateau meets the Missouri-Arkansas border. This survey details a deeply dissected terrain characterized by family-named coves and hollows such as Becky Hollow and Five Finger Cove. The settlement of Peel serves as a local hub near the lake's edge, while Monarch sits further south near Short Mtn. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Peel Cem, Locust Cem, Upshaw Cem, and Riddle Cem, which are scattered among the ridges.

Industrial and natural landmarks like Japanese Knob and Gay Ridge provide distinct navigational points above the winding drainages of Locust Creek and East Sugarloaf Creek. The map records a complex network of county roads that follow the high ground of Campbell Ridge and Linley Ridge, illustrating how the modern transportation pattern remains bound by the intricate hydrology of the White River basin.
