About this map

The Kings River flows northward through this section of the Ozarks, carving a deep valley that dictates the placement of small settlements and isolated farmsteads. Near the northern boundary, the Reynolds community and the Ozark Skies Airpark sit atop the high ground of Reynolds Mtn, while further east, Weathers serves as a local landmark. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including McKnight Hollow, Williams Hollow, and Stone Jar Hollow, which feed the river and its many tributaries like Felkins Cr and Gusses Cr.

Genealogists will find a significant number of small burial sites scattered across the landscape, documenting the area's rural history. These include Mt Olive Cem on Burney Mountain, the Venus Cem near the slopes of Venus Mtn, and the remote Eagle Gap Cem and Carpenter Cem located within the Ozark National Forest. The map also captures the transition from the private lands of Madison County into the protected forests to the south, where ridges like Smith Ridge and Russell Ridge remain largely undeveloped.
