About this map

Timbo and Fox anchor this late-1960s survey of the Ozark highlands, where the local economy and social life are clearly tied to high ridges and deep hollows. The map illustrates a landscape of high elevation points like Blue Mountain and Bald Knob interspersed with small community centers. Cultural life is evidenced by numerous houses of worship, including Our Lady of Victory Ch, Zion Ch, and Community Ch.

Transport and topography meet at the Red River Grade and the Middle Fork Little Red River in the southwestern corner. Unusual landmarks such as Cranes Nest and Bear Pen Falls suggest a landscape defined by natural features, while the Rural Special Sch near Fox indicates the centralized educational infrastructure of the period. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Ramsey Cem and specific family-named terrain like Dodd Ridge or Johnson Ridge provides direct links to the area's residents.
