About this map

Ravenden Springs serves as the primary community hub in this mid-1960s Ozark landscape, situated along the winding course of Janes Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions that reflect the area's agricultural and social fabric. Numerous small cemeteries, such as Charter Oak Cem and Rickman Cem, are scattered across the ridges and valleys, providing essential locations for genealogical research.

Education and faith are anchored at sites like Valley Chapel and Bethany Ch, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the broader waters of the Spring River and the Eleven Point River near the Missouri border. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Quarry suggests a local economy tied to the physical landscape. Smaller, remote settlements like Hineha and Allred appear as quiet clusters of buildings connected by winding country roads like Ark 93.
