1956 Map of Galena

About this map

The James River snakes through the heart of the Ozark hills in this mid-century survey, defining the rugged landscape of Stone County. The town of Galena serves as the focal point, situated at a sharp bend in the river where the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks hug the western bank. This era shows a network of hollows and ridges named for local families and landmarks, such as Canady Hill Hollow, Compton Hollow, and Otto Ridge.
