1958 Map of Garfield

About this map

The St Louis San Francisco RR cuts through the high ground of Roller Ridge, serving as a vital transport link for the rural communities of northern Benton County before the landscape transforms at the edge of the Ozarks. The 1976 photorevisions highlight the significant impact of the Beaver Lake impoundment on the White River, where rising waters reshaped the valleys of Fishtrap Hollow and Horn Branch. This inundation created new recreational focal points such as Lost Bridge Village and the Indian Creek Public Use Area. On higher ground, the map preserves the locations of foundational local institutions like New Prospect Ch, the Bayless Sch, and the Clantonville Cem, alongside several family-named peaks including Humphery Mountain and Whitney Mountain.
