2015 Map of Van Buren South

About this map

The Current River winds through the northeastern corner of this region, shaping the development of Van Buren and its neighboring communities of South Van Buren and Chicopee. This 2015 landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the Ozark Plateau, where dozens of named hollows like Walker Hollow and Poca Hollow drain toward the river system. Large portions of the territory are managed as the Mark Twain National Forest and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, reflecting a modern era of conservation and recreation along these historic waterways. Further south, the settlement of Eastwood sits near Eastwood Cemetery, connected by a network of forest roads and county routes. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain's transition from river valley to the timbered ridges, preserving the location of family-named landmarks such as Turley Cemetery and unique geographic features like the Tie Broom Stretch.
