2020 Map of Wirth

About this map

Wirth and Woodland Hills anchor this survey of the Ozark foothills along the Arkansas and Missouri border. The landscape is defined by a dense network of named drainage basins and springs, including Ruprecht Spring and Ellis Spring, which feed into major waterways like Moccasin Cr and Forty Island Cr. The intricate topography is recorded through dozens of family-named hollows, such as Tuttwaller Hollow and Zirnstein Hollow, reflecting generations of settlement and land use in this borderland. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain at sites like Mine Hollow and Sawmill Hollow, suggesting early industrial activity. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of small family and community burial grounds, including the Babe Collins Cem, Ed Collins Cem, Bethel Cem, and Flint Cem.
