About this map

Stonefort and the surrounding woodlands of the Shawnee National Forest occupy a landscape where four counties—Williamson, Saline, Johnson, and Pope—converge. This modern digital survey illustrates a deeply dissected terrain defined by numerous hollows and bluffs, including Stonefort Bluff and Jackson Hollow. The settlement pattern follows old ridges and creek valleys, connecting small communities like Oldtown, Abbot, and McCormick.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites recorded, from the centrally located Zion Cem and Old Zion Cem to more remote locations like Griffin Cem and Beames Cem. The map documents significant natural features and historical crossings, such as the Bell Smith Natural Bridge and Watkins Ford on the Little Saline River. These details provide a clear view of the area's geography as it appeared in the mid-2010s, preserving the location of family-named landmarks like John Mack Hollow and Katy Reid Hollow.
