About this map

Siloam Springs anchors this portion of the Ozark Highlands, where the borders of Douglas, Ozark, and Howell counties converge. The landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the Mark Twain National Forest, marked by numerous hollows such as Shingle Mill Hollow and Steam Mill Hollow that suggest early local industries and timber resources. The presence of Siloam Mine near the settlement of Siloam Springs points to the mineral interests that once shaped this rural interior.

Genealogists can find several family and community burial grounds, including the Mitts Cem, Horton Cem, and Collins Cem. Water remains a central feature of the topography, with named points like The Sinks, Blue Hole, and the Ozark Trail-North Fork River highlighting the karst-influenced hydrology of the region. Distinctive landmarks such as Lovers Leap and Payne Knob rise above the drainage of Tabor Cr, providing a clear view of the area's relief.
