About this map

Harrison stands as a central hub in this Ozark mountain landscape, documented shortly after the turn of the century by Jno. H. Renshawe and H. M. Wilson. The regional geography is defined by a network of winding waterways and ridges, including the White River in the northeast and the steep ascent of Crystal Mtn to the west. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident in the presence of Blantons Mill and the corridor of the St Louis Iron Mountain and Southern railroad, which traces a path through the hills toward Bergman.

Smaller settlements such as Green Forest, Lead Hill, and Carrollton are connected by rugged trails and mountain passes like Alpena Pass and Bradfield Gap. The mapping reveals a complex boundary system where Carroll County meets Boone County, alongside several other county lines. This terrain, now partly protected within the Mark Twain N F, preserves the names of early landmarks like Jennings Gap and Potato Hill.
