About this map

Timbo and Fox serve as the primary hubs in this late-1960s survey of the Ozark plateau in Stone County. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of Blue Mountain and numerous deep hollows like Bear Pen Hollow and Grassy Hollow. The presence of several country churches, including Our Lady of Victory Ch and Zion Ch, alongside the Rural Special Sch, indicates a dispersed but established upland community.

Economic life and infrastructure are traced through the Old Railroad Grade winding near the Middle Fork Little Red River in the southwest corner. Water resources are plentiful, marked by named landmarks like Bear Pen Falls and Spring Falls. For genealogists, several burial sites and family-named terrain features such as Ramsey Cem, Dodd Ridge, and Whipple Ridge offer specific points of connection to the local residents of the era.
