1965 Map of Eminence

About this map

Eminence serves as the focal point of this Ozark landscape, situated at the confluence of the Current River and Jacks Fork. The mid-1960s environment is defined by a dense network of steep hollows and ridges, such as Jerktail Mountain and Goot Mtn, which dictated the early patterns of settlement and transit. Evidence of community life is scattered throughout the drainages, from the St Sylvester Ch and High Sch in town to rural landmarks like Bunch Cem and Lower Grassy Cem.
