About this map

The St Francis River valley defines this mid-1960s landscape, dominated by the waters of Lake Wappapello held at a normal pool elevation of 358 feet. The settlement of Greenville sits at the northern edge of the reservoir, while recreational points like Holliday Landing and Camp Allen line the eastern and western shores. The map reveals the extensive reach of the Clark National Forest, which blankets the surrounding hills and hollows including Happy Hollow and Smoot Hollow.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of family burial sites preserved across these ridges, including the Old Greenville Cem, Stephens Cem, and Jones Cem. The presence of the Lost Creek Lookout Tower and Cut Lookout Tower highlights the forest management of the era, while the rural communities of Kime and scattered mines suggest a landscape built on timber, small-scale extraction, and river-based recreation.
