About this map

Cherokee Village occupies the center of this landscape, defined by a complex network of artificial reservoirs and suburban development along the South Fork Spring River. The community’s layout is deeply intertwined with its geography, where residential streets wind around significant water bodies such as Lake Thunderbird, Lake Omaha, and Lake Chanute. This modern development contrast with the older rural character found in surrounding hollows like Bee Gum Hollow and Good Spring Hollow.

Evidence of the area's earlier history remains visible in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Taylor Cem, Hersperger Cem, and Wavrick Cem. The Southern portion of the map transition into the settlements of Stuart and Hidden Valley, situated near the Sharp County Regional Airport. The topography is marked by the winding courses of Myatt Cr and Big Otter Cr, which feed into the extensive lake system that characterizes this portion of the Ozark foothills.
