1973 Map of Pettigrew

About this map

The upper reaches of the White River and War Eagle Creek carve through the high ridges of the Ozark National Forest in this early 1970s survey. The small settlements of Pettigrew and Dutton serve as the primary human hubs in a landscape defined by steep hollows and narrow gaps. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies numerous family-named burial grounds including Adkins Cem, Watson Cem, and Williams Cem, often situated near early homestead sites in the sheltered valleys. The topography is dominated by prominent heights such as Sugar Tree Mountain, Whittmore Mountain, and High Davey Mountain. The presence of Kilgore Gap and John White Gap indicates the historical passage points for travel between the deep drainages of Indian Creek and Pea Prong Creek at the Madison County line.
