1973 Map of Boston

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Ozark National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high ridges of the Boston Mountains divide several major drainage basins. This mid-1970s survey captures a rural landscape defined by small upland settlements like Boston and Red Star, as well as the specialized industrial site at Spoke Plant. The map reveals the intricate network of hollows—including Clifty Hollow, Lynn Hollow, and Pour Off Hollow—that feed into the headwaters of the White River and Mulberry Creek. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Evans Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Buckhorn Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing a valuable record of local families and established rural communities during this era. High-altitude landmarks like the Boston Lookout Tower and Locust Gap illustrate the survey's focus on topographic prominence in this heavily wooded portion of the Arkansas Ozarks.
