2019 Map of Seventeen Creek

About this map

The boundary between Carroll and Benton Counties defines the central axis of this landscape, where small rural communities like Robison and Crossroads persist in a network of winding creek valleys. The drainage system is particularly dense, with Seventeen Creek, Fourteen Creek, and the various forks of Blunt Creek carving the terrain into a series of ridges and hollows. This geography shaped the early settlement patterns of the area, as evidenced by the high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Ellis Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
