2014 Map of Gaither

About this map

Gaither Mtn dominates the central landscape of this Boone County region, dividing the drainage of the W Fork Terrapin Cr to the west from the W Fork Crooked Cr to the east. This survey captures the transition from the high ridges of Kennedy Mtn and Piney Mtn down into the pastoral openings of Gaither Prairie. Small community centers like Capps, Grubb Springs, and Gaither anchor the rural road network, which includes historical routes like Old Capps Rd S and Ar-43. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-named burial sites including Coker Cem, Wagley Cem, and Rogers Cem. The terrain is marked by deep topographic features such as Fernsides Cove and Johnson Cove, reflecting the complex watershed of the Ozark plateau prior to modern development.
