About this map

Wilderness stands at the heart of this Oregon County landscape, a community defined by its remote valley position and network of forest roads. The terrain is deeply incised by a complex system of hollows and creek beds, including Gold Mine Hollow and Brawley Hollow, which drain toward the Eleven Point River at Horseshoe Bend. The historical imprint of the timber industry is visible through the winding path of Old Tram Rd, tracing the route of former logging rails through Tram Hollow.

Upland features such as the Sinking Creek Lookout Tower provide a sense of the area's forest management history. Local genealogy is anchored by the Freeman Cemetery in the north, while the presence of Cotham Pond and Spout Spring highlights the significance of reliable water sources in this karstic Ozark environment. The map details a transition from the drainage of Big Barren Creek to the south-flowing Whites Creek, which meanders through Sitton Valley.
