2017 Map of Garrison

About this map

The community of Garrison and the surrounding woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest define this 2017 survey of the White River hills region. Located along the border of Christian and Taney counties, the landscape is a network of ridges and hollows, where life historically centered on the creek bottoms. Notable settlements such as Swan and Low Gap appear alongside local landmarks like Helphrey Hill and the long expanse of Garrison Ridge. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in these hills, including Peace Cem, Swan Cem, and Helphrey Cem. The map illustrates a modern road network following ancient topography, from State Hwy H to the winding course of Blue Creek Rd, tracing the drainages of Swan Cr and its many tributaries.
