2020 Map of Rex

About this map

The Rex community sits at a high-elevation crossroads within the Ozark National Forest, where the headwaters of several significant drainages originate. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, including Gulf Mountain and Black Mountain, which overlook deep-cut drainages like Sis Hollow and Pigeon Roost Hollow. The mapping reveals a remote network of timber and access roads, such as Slick Rock Ford Road and Wilderness Trail, which service the scattered residents of the northern Van Buren County hills. Evidence of long-standing local lineage is preserved in the location of the Low Gap Cemetery and Burke Cemetery, while the varied flow of the South Fork Little Red River and W Fork Point Remove Creek highlights the area's role as a major watershed divide.
