About this map

Summit City and Noble sit within a landscape of deeply incised Ozark drainages, where the Mark Twain National Forest blankets the ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the terrain, with small communities like Nottinghill and Willhoit connected by a network of winding state and county roads. For the genealogist, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including Gaulding Cem, Peters Cem, and Franklin Grove Cem.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the Barren Fork and the S Fork Turkey Cr, which carve out numerous named hollows such as Bennett Hollow and Buzzard Roost Hollow. High points like Sister Knobs and Bald Jess provide orientation amidst the dense forest cover. This map captures the area's rural character, where small clearings for cemeteries and crossroads hamlets like Romance remain the primary evidence of human habitation within the timberlands.
