1968 Map of Grandin SW

About this map

The Ozark National Scenic Riverways Current River bisects this landscape, flowing through a heavily forested region on the border of Carter and Ripley counties. This 1960s survey documents the transition toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the establishment of the Mark Twain National Forest and designated sites like the Hawes Recreation Area. High points such as Battleaxe Ridge and the Panther Lookout Tower provide vantage points over a complex network of hollows, including Gooseneck Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow. Genealogists will find significant local family markers preserved in the Ponder Cemetery, Lewis Cemetery, and Hufstedler Cemetery. Small community centers are noted at Hall and Bedell, while the Good Hope Ch stands near the eastern forest boundary, anchoring the rural settlement pattern of the southern Missouri Ozarks.
