1945 Map of Gatewood

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Eleven Point River carves a deep path through the Ozark Mountains here, shaping a landscape defined by its isolated hollows and essential river crossings. Life in this portion of Mark Twain National Forest during the late 1930s and early 1940s revolved around small upland communities like Gatewood and Bardley. The map reveals a highly localized network of rural education and industry, from the timber-focused C C C Camp near Charter Oak Sch to the water-powered Thomasons Mill. Regional transit relied on river infrastructure, most notably the Stubblefield Ferry and the small Landing Field near Riverton. Genealogists will find a dense distribution of family-named landmarks and country schools, including Whitten Sch, Mitchell Sch, and Baker Sch, which served the scattered farmsteads of the Oregon and Ripley County borderlands.
