About this map

Winslow serves as a prominent landmark on the eastern edge of this Ozark survey, where the Burlington Northern railroad winds through the terrain alongside the West Fork White River. The landscape is deeply incised by dozens of hollows, including Honey Hollow, Rose Hollow, and Wattle Hollow, which dictate the placement of early settlements and roads. Small rural communities and homesteads like Blackburn, Boston, and Banyard are scattered throughout the region, often centered around local institutions such as Bethlehem Ch and Oak Grove Ch.

Genealogical interest is high in this quadrangle, as several burial grounds including Collier Cem and Katten Cem are documented. The western portion of the map is dominated by the protected lands of Devils Den State Park and the Ozark National Forest, while industrial developments like a Pipeline and a Radio Tower illustrate the mid-20th-century modernization of this rugged Northwest Arkansas corridor.
