About this map

The Fifth Principal Meridian serves as a critical surveying anchor for this Ozark landscape, where the Middle Fork Black River and East Fork Black River carve through the terrain of Iron and Reynolds counties. The area is characterized by a high concentration of localized community hubs, such as Mountainville Store and Maxwells Mill, which supported the rural population in the mid-1920s.

A network of small schools, including the Housop School, Sawyer School, and Upper Imboden School, suggests a dispersed but settled township structure. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Bell Mountain and High Top Mtn, while the Clark National Forest Boundary Line indicates the presence of protected timberlands. Smaller settlements such as Edgehill, Enough, and Munger are documented alongside many family-named hollows and branches, providing a clear record of local geography before later 20th-century developments.
