1955 Map of Garrison

About this map

Swan Creek and its many tributaries, including Barbers Creek and Surratt Creek, dominate this mid-century landscape on the border of Christian and Taney Counties. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Garrison Ridge and Devreaux Ridge, much of which is contained within the Mark Twain National Forest. The small settlement of Garrison serves as a local hub, while the surrounding hollows—such as Peckout Hollow and Poague Hollow—reflect the traditional Ozark settlement patterns of the 1950s.
