About this map

Westville serves as the primary hub of this 2016 survey, situated just west of the Oklahoma and Arkansas state line where the Ozark plateau begins its transition. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Baron Fork and its tributaries, including Evansville Creek and Peavine Cr, which cut through a series of named elevations such as Alberty Mtn and Snake Mtn. These ridges separate small rural communities like Christie, Baron, and West Peavine.

For those researching local family history, the map identifies numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Foreman Cem near the town center and more remote sites like Ganderville Cem and Downing Cem. The infrastructure of the era is represented by a dense network of county roads and named streets like Goingsnake Rd, reflecting the deep Cherokee heritage of Adair County while connecting the outlying settlements of Old Green and Piney.
