1965 Map of Botkinburg

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Archey Creek carves a deep valley through the Ozark landscape of northern Van Buren County, anchoring a mid-1960s rural network of small family-named settlements and church-centered communities. This period finds Botkinburg and Rocky Hill as central points for the surrounding hills, where local life was clearly organized around landmarks like Evening Shade Ch and Salem Ch. The map reveals a high density of small cemeteries such as Arnhart Cem and Woolum Cem, offering significant detail for genealogists tracing Ozark family histories. Higher elevations are defined by Clinton Mountain and Crowell Mountain, while the presence of a Lookout Tower on Red Hill indicates the era's fire watch and communication infrastructure. The drainage patterns of North Castleberry Cr and South Castleberry Cr further illustrate the topographic complexity of the Washington and Griggs townships.
