1972 Map of Blue Eye

About this map

The Missouri-Arkansas state line bisects this landscape, running directly through the community of Blue Eye. This 1970s survey captures the rural character of Stone and Carroll Counties, where the land is defined by a dense network of hollows and creek beds. Significant landmarks such as Cosmic Cavern near Maple and the Mark Twain National Forest along the northern border indicate a region shaped by karst topography and timber. The map provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous family and community sites, including Boyd Cemetery and New Home Cemetery. Transportation is oriented toward small hubs like Oakgrove and Cisco, with several country churches like Fanning Church and Hale Church serving as focal points for the upland settlements nestled between Yocum Creek and Indian Creek.
