I am still working on the final campaign map. As noted, there will be some minor changes from the earlier version posted. I have been working on the TC2M maps for a Buffalo City, Tomahawk, Big Flat(s) and some revisions on Yellville.
Big Flat will be replacing the fictional "Rands Ford" that appeared on the earlier campaign map, but it will still be a choke point on the road leading north from Locust Grove. The main difference is that Rands Ford would have been a river crossing of the Buffalo Fork, whereas Big Flat will be a single north-south road linking Locust Grove to Buffalo City.
Big Flat is still a town in Baxter County (Searcy County during the war). It is in a flat east of Big Creek and near Roasting Ear Creek.
The Big Flat had a post office before the war and appears in this 1856 map by De Silver. Buffalo City also appears in this map. Buffalo City and Big Flat were omitted from Colton and Johnson and War maps of the period, despite the road north from Locust Grove appearing in almost all maps of the period.
