2020 Map of Fiftysix

About this map

The Ozark National Forest dominates this section of Stone County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of hollows and creek drainage. The North Sylamore Creek Wild and Scenic River carves through the northern half of the area, supported by landmarks such as Blanchard Spring and Gunner Pool Lake. Small settlements like Fiftysix and Gayler are situated along the winding ridge roads, reflecting a community pattern shaped by the sharp elevations of the Ozark plateau. To the south, the terrain begins to transition near Newnata and the outskirts of Mountain View. Local history is preserved in sites such as Gayler Cem and Red Doors Cem, while modern recreation is represented by the extensive Mirror Lake Trail and various bike trails that navigate the complex ridges and valleys.
