1973 Map of Brentwood

About this map

Brentwood sits at the junction of mountain valley topography and industrial transit in the early 1970s, where the St Louis San Francisco RR tracks parallel the West Fork White River. This portion of the Ozark National Forest is marked by a deep network of hollows, such as Paschal Hollow and Sugar Tree Hollow, that have historically shaped local settlement patterns. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural cemeteries and spiritual sites, including Parks Cem, Koyle Cem, and the prominent Our Lady of the Ozarks Shrine near Mount Gaylor. The map also captures the path of the Henderson Mountain Pipeline as it traverses the ridge lines. To the east, the community of Sunset and the Middle Fork White River define a landscape of secluded drainage basins like Tom Ritter Hollow, illustrating the enduring isolation and specific geography of the Washington and Crawford County border.
