About this map

Cassville serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, situated where the terrain begins to ripple into the deep hollows of the Ozarks. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Flat Creek and a network of valleys including Corder Hollow and Rockhouse Hollow. To the east, the Mark Twain National Forest boundary marks a shift toward more heavily timbered ridges.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, such as Quaker Cem Merles Chapel and Union Chapel, which anchor the small crossroads and farming communities. The map highlights the area's subterranean character with Crystal Caverns and Ash Cave, alongside numerous natural water sources like Spout Spring and Mineral Spring. Cultural markers of the era include the Drive-in Theater and the local Golf Course, illustrating the community's mid-century development.
