About this map

Spring Valley sits at the heart of this landscape where the Ozark Plateau begins to yield to the drainage basins of the White River system. The terrain is defined by the winding course of War Eagle Creek, which carves through the landscape near Martin Bluff and eventually feeds into Beaver Lake in the northwest. This area serves as a transition between the more developed corridors of Washington County and the deeply incised hollows like Hickory Flat Hollow and Granny Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small family and community burial sites, including Old Best Cem, Morriss Cem, and Wade Cem. These landmarks, along with established rural centers like Mayfield, Goshen, and Whitener, illustrate the long-standing agricultural and settlement patterns of the region. Distinctive elevations such as Been Mtn and Vaughan Mtn provide the topographic framework for these scattered rural communities.
