About this map

Viola serves as the primary hub of this Ozark borderland area, situated near the headwaters of Big Creek and Davenport Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Shaw Knob and Wildcat Knob, which overlook a network of winding watercourses like Trace Creek and Greasy Branch. Small communities and agricultural pockets are scattered throughout, with Sturkie and Moody marking the more remote corners of the landscape.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Barker Cem, Watkins Cem, and Viola Cem. The map documents a rural way of life centered around local gathering points like Bay Cr Ch and Gum Spring Ch. Industry is represented by localized land use, including a Quarry and a Gravel Pit, while the Wooden Pole Trans Line illustrates the infrastructure of the early 1980s.
