1967 Map of Corridon

About this map

The West Fork Black River and its numerous tributaries, such as Bee Fork and Logan Creek, dictate the settlement patterns of this Reynolds County landscape during the late 1960s. Within the Clark National Forest, small community hubs like Reynolds and Corridon serve as focal points for local life, supported by the Corridon-Reynolds Sch and spiritual centers including Ohlman Ch and Bee Fork Ch. Industrial activity is evident near the river forks, where the Fletcher Mine and associated Tailings Pond operate alongside specialized features like Charcoal Ovens and the Jay Lookout Tower. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the Fletcher Landing Strip to numerous family-named burial grounds like Mayes Cem and Corridon-Reynolds Cem, reflecting a deep-rooted connection to the hollows and ridges of the Ozarks.
