2024 Map of Sandstone Mountain

About this map

Buck Mtn and Sandstone Mtn anchor this complex landscape where the boundaries of Benton, Carroll, and Madison counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Durham Mill Hollow, Penitentiary Hollow, and Hogscald Hollow, which channel water toward Beaver Lake and War Eagle Creek. Small settlements like Lone Star and West Liberty are scattered across the high ridges, while family history is preserved in localized burial sites such as Rambo Cem and Pemberton Cem. The presence of the Buck Mountain Airport atop its namesake peak suggests the adaptation of modern transportation to this high-relief environment, while the older settlement pattern remains visible in places like Rock and the naming of Swain Mtn and Samuel Mtn.
