1962 Map of Agnos

About this map

Pleasant Ridge anchors the central landscape of this survey, which captures the rural character of the Ozark foothills at the start of the 1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Spring River and Myatt Fork, which dictated the early settlement patterns and road networks between Agnos and Glencoe. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians, as it records several small rural congregations and burial grounds, including Heart Ch, Nazarene Ch, Rhoads Cem, and Humphries Cem. The distribution of these landmarks, alongside smaller communities like Heart and Saddle, reveals a decentralized social structure centered on valley farms and ridge-top crossroads. A small Quarry located in the south-east provides a rare indication of local industrial activity amidst the largely agricultural and topographical focus of the region.
