1955 Map of Chadwick

About this map

Chadwick and Oldfield anchor this mid-century portrait of the Ozark plateau, where the landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain of narrow ridges and steep hollows, such as Strawberry Ridge and Cobb Ridge, which dictated the sparse settlement patterns of the era. The primary corridor follows the path of State Route 125, connecting the small communities and rural landmarks that sustained local life.
