About this map

The Current River flows through the southwest corner of this Ozark landscape, where the town of Doniphan serves as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities. During the late twentieth century, this area maintained a mix of agricultural clearings and dense forest cover within the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a high density of small rural institutions, including the Fairview School and numerous family or community burial grounds such as Elizabeth Cemetery and the Mc Gee-Payne Cemetery.

Water sources define the local geography, from the South Prong Little Black River to smaller landmarks like Emmons Spring and Malden Spring. The terrain transitions from river bottoms to high points like Hill Top, where the Doniphan Lookout once monitored the forest. This survey provides a clear view of the road network and land use patterns, including the Little Black State Conservation Area and the Dungeon Canoe Access, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to timber and river recreation.
