2011 Map of Redford

About this map

Sinking Creek winds through this section of the Ozarks, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. The settlement of Redford is situated along the creek's eastern banks, where it intersects with Harrison Valley Rd and Old Hwy 21. This 2011 survey reveals a high concentration of family cemeteries, such as the Pyles Cemetery and Durham Cemetery, which are often located on the high ground overlooking the creek valleys. These sites, including the Old Redford Cemetery and Ratliff Cemetery, provide significant data for genealogists tracing early families in Reynolds County. The terrain is further punctuated by natural water sources like Pyrtle Spring and Ball Spring, which have historically influenced the location of homes and livestock operations within the sheltered depressions of Amsden Hollow and Boiler Hollow.
