About this map

Tiff City sits at the intersection of local history and the Missouri-Oklahoma state line, anchoring a landscape where the Elk River and winding watercourses like Buffalo Creek define the geography of McDonald County. This modern survey reveals a region deeply connected to its past through numerous burial grounds, including the centrally located Mannings Chapel Cemetery and the more remote Rinehart Cemetery to the north. These sites, along with others like Keenen Cemetery and Mitchell Cemetery, serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracking family roots in the Ozark borderlands.

The terrain is marked by distinct geological features such as Owens Bluff and a series of hollows, including Beeman Hollow and Kinslow Hollow, which have long influenced local road patterns. Small settlements like Hart and Coy persist along a network of rural routes such as Bunch Rd and Hart Rd. The map illustrates how these communities are integrated into the valley systems formed by Patterson Creek and Stogdon Cr.
