1966 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville and the winding St Francis River valley define this portion of Wayne County, captured here as the landscape shifted through the mid-1960s and 1980s. The area is heavily managed for conservation and recreation, dominated by the Mark Twain National Forest and the Lake Wappapello State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural landmarks are scattered along the river's tributaries, including the White Hollow Sch and several country churches such as New Liberty Ch and Mt Pisgah Ch. Smaller settlements like Silva and Bounds are situated along the primary north-south corridor, while the Fish Hatchery near Silva points to the region's focus on water resources. From the heights of Logan Mountain to the depths of Rebel Cave, the map provides a clear record of the rural communities and public lands surrounding the upper reaches of Lake Wappapello.
