1970 Map of Gallatin

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Illinois River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a deep valley as it flows toward the Ozark National Forest at the southern boundary. This 1970 snapshot of Benton and Washington Counties reveals a rural society built on a mix of prairie farming and the specialized terrain of the hollows. Higher ground is marked by expansive open spaces like Prairie and Lindsley, while the rugged eastern hills are defined by deep cuts such as Palmer Hollow and Hoover Hollow. Local life centers around a network of country churches and community hubs, including the Fairmount Community Hall and Shady Grove Ch. The presence of the Ozark Academy and Camp Ozark in the northwest suggests an area established with education and recreation in mind. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many family and community burial grounds, from Lone Elm Cem to the Flint Creek Cem near the northern border.
