2004 Map of Protem SW

About this map

The Ozark plateau along the Missouri-Arkansas border is defined here by the jagged, flooded fingers of Bull Shoals Lake and the dense timber of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a landscape where steep ridges like Hankins Ridge and Mill Ridge overlook the winding White River valley. While much of the land remains wooded, the small settlement of Cedarcreek serves as a local hub near the Cedar Creek Cem. Local history is preserved in the names of family landmarks and hollows, such as Cardwell Hollow and Poor Joe Bald. Transport across this difficult terrain is marked by older routes like Ferry Road and the specialized Bright Elbow Ranch Landing Field, illustrating how residents adapted to the deep valleys and rising waters of the mid-twentieth century.
