About this map

Beaver Lake defines the northwestern corner of this territory, where the fingers of the reservoir reach into a complex network of ridges and hollows at the intersection of Benton, Carroll, and Madison counties. The land is marked by high elevations such as Sandstone Mtn, Swain Mtn, and Grindstone Mtn, which overlook numerous drainage basins like Hogscald Hollow and Durham Mill Hollow. Small-scale aviation and local transit are evident at the Buck Mountain Airport, situated on a relatively flat ridge between Penitentiary Hollow and the lake.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several established burial grounds, including Beulah Union Cem and Pemberton Cem. The settlement of West Liberty sits in the eastern portion of the map near the winding AR 23 Hwy S, while waterways like N Clifty Cr and Big Clifty Cr carve through the southern landscape. The distribution of named hollows, from Poyner Hollow to Turpentine Hollow, illustrates a classic Ozark settlement pattern where geography dictates the location of homes and roads.
