1972 Map of Denver

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Denver serves as a central landmark in this 1970s topographical survey of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of Table Rock Lake, which follows the deep incisions of Long Creek and its various tributaries. This era of the Ozarks transition is characterized by a mix of agricultural clearings and forested ridges, including portions of the Mark Twain Nat Forest near the border. Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds like Denver Cem and Enon Cem, while the rugged relief is illustrated by prominent features such as Backbone Bluff and Kimhowart Hill. The network of hollows—including Bear Hollow, Fortner Hollow, and Cove Hollow—underscores the complex drainage patterns that lead into the reservoir, reflecting a period when recreational development at the Cricket Creek Public Use Area sat alongside established rural communities.
