About this map

Washburn and Seligman anchor this Barry County landscape, where the Ozark plateau is deeply carved by drainage systems like Flat Creek and Big Sugar Creek. The map reveals a dense network of local history preserved in its rural cemeteries, including the curiously named True Love Cemetery and the centrally located Washburn Prairie Cemetery. These burial sites, along with others such as King Cemetery and Corinth Cemetery, offer significant waypoints for genealogists tracing family footprints across the hills.

Elevations rise toward the southwest at Lennox Mountain, Reed Mountain, and Ford Mountain, while hollows like Sparkman Hollow and Blockade Hollow define the intricate local topography. Transportation patterns are marked by small junctions such as Pender Switch, while numerous Forest Service roads like FR 2217 and FR 1085 provide access to the more secluded reaches of the terrain. The presence of Butler Creek and Beaver Creek further illustrates the complex watershed that has long dictated the layout of farms and roads in the region.
