About this map

Rea Valley and the southern settlement of Rush anchor this Marion County landscape, defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows that drop toward the Buffalo River. The topography is marked by significant local landmarks such as Hall Mtn, Hand Mtn, and the distinctive Poison Point. These elevations are separated by deep drainages like Elbow Hollow and Campbell Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected nature of the Ozark plateau in this region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Williams Cem, Hand Valley Cem, and Laffoon Cem near the river. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Buffalo National River Wilderness, where Rush Creek and Clabber Creek flow toward the main river channel. Transport routes such as Marion Co 6001 and Marion Co 6095 provide access to the rural homesteads and agricultural clearings scattered throughout the timbered hills.
