1973 Map of Boston

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Boston and the surrounding high-country ridges of the Ozark National Forest define this 1970s landscape at the triple junction of Madison, Newton, and Johnson Counties. The area is characterized by a network of deeply incised hollows and narrow ridges that dictated early settlement patterns, with small communities like Red Star and Arbaugh positioned near the headwaters of major drainage systems. The presence of Spoke Plant in the southern portion of the map points to a localized timber or manufacturing industry dependent on the area's timber resources, while the Boston Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the timbered terrain.
