1979 Map of Briar

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Current River snakes through the eastern half of this terrain, its course defined by a series of distinctive water features such as Round Bay, Peter Bay, and the interestingly named Bugger Boo Bay. This 1979 survey captures the rugged landscape within the Mark Twain National Forest, where deep hollows like Jinks Hollow and Whetstone Hollow cut through the timberland. The small settlement of Briar serves as the primary point of human occupancy, while the land is dotted with family-named landmarks and resting places, including Bennett Cem and Rosson Cem. The development of the area for leisure is evident in the multiple designated sites along the riverbank, from the Compton Recreation Area to the Float Camp Recreation Area, suggesting a region transitioning from isolated timber and farm plots toward managed forest and river-based recreation.
