2017 Map of Scotland

About this map

Scotland and the valley of the South Fork Little Red River anchor this 2017 survey of Van Buren County. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high points, most notably Crowell Pinnacle and Culpepper Mtn. The map reveals a settlement pattern tied to family-named landmarks and the winding path of waterways like Scotland Br and Butter Cr. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several small burial grounds, including Evans Cem, Crowell Cem, and the Gardner Cem. The transition from river bottomlands to elevations like Gulf Mtn is marked by a network of local roads such as Foster Cemetery Rd and the aptly named Possum Walk, illustrating the remote character of these Ozark foothills communities.
