1958 Map of Garfield

About this map

Garfield and the neighboring settlements of Gateway and Clantonville sit atop the high ridges of the Ozark plateau during the late 1950s. The St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts a definitive path through the landscape, dictating the placement of community centers like Bayless Sch and the Clantonville Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent heights, including Garfield Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Humphery Mountain, which separate the various hollows feeding into the White River valley to the south.
