About this map

Current River flows through the center of this landscape, carving a path between the dense timberlands of the Ozark National Scenic Riverway and the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a rugged topography defined by deep valleys like Sugarcamp Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, alongside the prominent height of Cardareva Mtn. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Van Buren and the Bollinger-Crass Memorial Airport represent the primary hubs of activity in this part of Carter County.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the hills, including Collins Cem, Galbraith Cem, and Maberry Cem. The rural character is further detailed by established river features like Watermelon Shoal and Waymeyer Chute, as well as the spring-fed waters of Mill Creek Spring. This survey captures the region's long-standing reliance on its river systems and forest resources, showing a network of county roads connecting isolated homesteads such as Beal and House Creek.
