1967 Map of Greeley

About this map

Clark National Forest dominates this section of the Ozarks, where the Black River and the West Fork Black River meet near the community of Greeley. During the mid-1960s, the region saw active industrial development, evidenced by the Buick Mine and associated St Louis San Francisco rail line in the northeast corner. This industrial presence contrasts with the traditional rural landscape found throughout the hollows. Small local centers like Crossville and Henpeck remain connected by the winding Karkaghne Drive. Family and community history is preserved at sites such as New Harmony Ch, Crossville Ch, and several rural burial grounds including Barton Cem and Radford Cem. The complex drainage system of the area is defined by numerous named features like Huzzah Creek, Bucksnort Fork, and Smalls Creek, which carve through the ridges of the Sinking and Carroll districts.
