About this map

The White River carves a deep path through the Ozark landscape on its way past Mount Olive, serving as the primary geographic axis for the settlements of Sylamore and Allison. This modern survey illustrates a rugged terrain defined by countless hollows and ridges, including Brandenburg Mtn and Scrappy Mtn, which now host recreational infrastructure like the Syllamo Bike Trail-Bald Scrappy. The presence of the Ozark National Forest and the North Sylamore Creek Wild And Scenic River underscores the preservation of this wilderness character.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small burial grounds tucked into the hills, such as Polk Mountain Cem, Jeffrey Cem, and Beckman Cem. In the southern reaches of the map, the growth of Mountain View is evident, showing the transition from the secluded river bottoms of Harris Bottom and Reed Hollow to the established town center. The map also delineates the Stone Co and Izard Co boundary as it follows the meandering course of the river.
