About this map

Big Piney Creek carves a deep path through this portion of the Ozark National Forest, defining the region's geography and settlement patterns. The small community of Treat sits along Spring Creek in the northern reaches, supported by the Treat Cem and Shannon Cem. To the south, Bullfrog Valley provides a rare stretch of relatively level ground, hosting the Gospel Lighthouse Ch and the settlement of Silex.

The landscape is marked by prominent high points like Pilot Rock Mountain and Graves Mountain, with narrow transit corridors such as Waldo Mountain Road navigating the ridges. Outdoor recreation is centered at the Long Pool Recreation Area along the river, while industrial traces like a Mine near Moccasin Creek and a Gas Well in the valley reflect the era's natural resource extraction. Local family history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including the Bradley Cem near Ladd Bluff and Owens Cem further south.
