About this map

Yellville serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s Ozark landscape, situated at a sharp bend in Crooked Creek where the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks trace the river's path. The settlement pattern reveals a transition from the town center to the adjoining village of Summit, with the shared Yellville-Summit Sch reflecting the integration of these neighboring communities. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems including Town Prong and Mill Creek, creating the ridges and hollows characteristic of the region.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community sites scattered across the township, from the Wickersham Cem to the south of town to the more remote Cowan Cem near the Cowan settlement. Notable landmarks like the Natural Bridge and Shawnee Cave underscore the unique geology of the area, while the Freck Lookout Tower monitors the surrounding timberlands of Big Springs and Water Creek.
