About this map

Pettigrew and Dutton serve as the primary hubs of this Madison County landscape, where the White River and its multiple forks carve through the high terrain of the Ozark National Forest. The map captures a topography defined by narrow hollows and prominent ridges, such as Whittmore Mtn and Garrett Mtn, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.

For those researching family history in the Arkansas Ozarks, the distribution of local burial sites provides critical geographic anchors. Small family and community cemeteries are scattered across the ridges and gaps, including Adkins Cem near Adkins Hollow, Liberty Cem on a southern ridge, and Watson Cem overlooking the river. These features, along with names like Whittmore Mtn and Keck Knob, reflect the generational footprint of early settlers within the t14n r26w and t13n r25w townships.
