About this map

Rea Valley and the southern settlement of Rush anchor this Marion County landscape, where the Ozark terrain is defined by a complex network of creeks and named hollows. The Buffalo National River sweeps across the southern portion of the sheet, passing landmarks like Clabber Creek Shoal and Bear Hollow. The map reveals a deeply personal history of the land through topographic features named for early families, such as John Treat Hollow, George Treat Hollow, and Campbell Hollow.

Upland features including Hall Mtn and Hand Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Crooked Creek and Clabber Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of small rural burial sites like Valley Cem, Williams Cem, and Ott Cem, which remain tucked among the ridges. The intricate road system, from Ar-101 to numerous forest trails like Fire Break Trl, highlights the transition from valley floor settlements to the high reaches of Hoodlum Ridge.
