1968 Map of Gainesville

About this map

Gainesville serves as the focal point of this late-1960s Ozark County landscape, situated where Hogard Creek and Becky Cobb Creek converge. The town infrastructure includes the Gainesville High Sch and the nearby Gainesville Memorial Airport. A distinctive industrial footprint is found to the northeast at the Charcoal Ovens, indicating the local timber-to-fuel economy of the era. The terrain is defined by deeply cut hollows like Persimmon Hollow and Possum Walk Hollow, separating ridges such as Lilly Ridge and Cane Patch Ridge.
