1956 Map of Garber

About this map

Marvel Cave and the folklore-rich landscape of the Ozarks define this mid-century survey along the Stone and Taney County line. The map highlights the cultural geography of the area, featuring Inspiration Point Old Matt's Cabin, a cornerstone of local literary history. The Missouri Pacific railroad winds through the narrow valleys, connecting small settlements like Garber and Notch. High points such as Dewey Bald and the Reeds Spring Lookout Tower overlook a terrain characterized by deep hollows like Deer Lick Hollow and Mutton Hollow. The transition of the era is evident in the presence of both the Garber Sch (Abandoned) and the emerging infrastructure at Branson Memorial Airport, complete with a nearby Drive-in Theater and Racetrack, signaling the early growth of the region's recreation and tourism economy.
