1968 Map of Big Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Current River meanders through the heart of the Ozarks in this late-1960s survey, anchoring the recently authorized Ozark National Scenic Riverways. This map highlights a transition in land use, where the timber and rail era left behind an Old Railroad Grade and numerous hollows named for local families, such as Chub Hollow and McSpadden Hollow. The settlement of Chilton sits near the river, surrounded by sites of genealogical interest including Aldrich Valley Cem, Chilton Cem, and Kelley Cem. Industrial activity is represented by scattered Quarry locations, while the natural landscape is defined by features like Big Spring, Lost Man Cave, and Cave Spring. Aviation and water management are also present through the State Park Landing Strip and the Big Spring Gaging Station, showing how the area within Big Spring State Park was managed for both conservation and tourism.
