1965 Map of Gamaliel

About this map

Gamaliel stands as the primary settlement in this mid-1960s survey of the Ozark borderlands, situated just south of the Missouri-Arkansas state line. The landscape is defined by the winding reaches of Norfork Lake, where inundation patterns affect the drainage of Bennetts Bayou and Bennetts River. The map provides a clear look at rural life before extensive modern development, documenting small communities like Cumi and Henderson alongside a network of country churches and cemeteries that anchor the local genealogy.
