About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest dominates this landscape, where the deeply carved channel of the Red River creates a labyrinthine network of ridges and arches. The 1978 revision highlights the arrival of modern transportation via the Bert T Combs Mountain Parkway and the Pine Ridge Interchange, cutting through the southwestern corner near Pine Mountain. This infrastructure stands in contrast to the traditional mountain settlements of Pomeroyton and Valeria, which are defined by their proximity to winding waterways like Stillwater Creek and Calaboose Creek.

Geological landmarks are exceptionally dense here, including Sky Bridge, Princess Arch, and Rock Bridge Arch. The social history of the area is reflected in rural institutions such as the Dessie Scott Childrens Home and the Calaboose Sch, alongside the Peniel Ch. Local industry is noted by scattered gas and oil wells, while names like Swift Camp Creek and Wildcat Creek speak to the pioneer character of the Menifee and Wolfe County borderlands.
