About this map

The White River carves a deep path through the Ozarks on this mid-century survey, defining the rugged geography of Stone and Izard counties. The Missouri Pacific railroad snakes along the northern bank, serving isolated settlements like Mount Olive and Sylamore, where a Ferry still crosses the water near the mouth of South Sylamore Creek. The landscape is dotted with ancestral markers, including the Mount Olive Cem and Jeffery Cem, reflecting generations of family settlement within the Ozark National Forest.

High ground is dominated by peaks such as Brandenburg Mountain and Sir Alec Mountain, while the valleys are characterized by numerous hollows like Canning Kitchen Hollow and Schoolhouse Hollow. In the southern reaches, the community of Mountain View begins to show its layout near Levisy Flat, where local gathering places like the Assembly of God Ch and Levisy Flat Cem anchor the rural neighborhood.
