1968 Map of Gainesville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Caney Mountain State Game Refuge dominates this section of the Ozarks, preserving a landscape defined by prominent peaks like Caney Mountain and Tater Cave Mountain. This 1968 survey captures the region's mid-century character, where isolated rural landmarks like the Romance Lookout Tower and Charcoal Ovens sit tucked within narrow hollows and along timbered ridges. The settlement pattern is largely dispersed, tied together by routes such as the Mailroute Road. Local genealogy is anchored by small country congregations and burial grounds, including the Pineview Ch and Brushy Knob Ch, alongside the Sheppard Cem and Loftis Cem. The intricate network of seasonal drainages, from Lick Creek to Barren Fork, underscores the difficult terrain that historically dictated the placement of smallholdings and family landmarks like Ludecker Bald and Stony Knob.
