1964 Map of Bartlett

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco Railroad corridor anchors the southern edge of this landscape, passing through the small settlement of Bartlett and past a local Drive-in Theater. This mid-century survey reveals a rural Missouri Ozarks terrain defined by deep hollows and timberland, much of which is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest. Water sources are vital to the local geography, from the winding Jacks Fork in the northwest to the isolated Buckhart Spring. Further north, the community of Delaware sits near the Rader Cem, illustrating the dispersed nature of settlement in Shannon County. The map provides a clear record of family-named landmarks and topographic features like Jam Up Hollow and Pin Oak Hollow, while the Magger of Bethlehem Ch stands as a focal point for the local congregation south of the tracks.
