About this map

Harrison serves as the regional hub of Boone County in the late 1960s, its urban grid tightly packed between the winding path of Crooked Creek and Maplewood Cem. The city’s mid-century expansion is evidenced by several educational landmarks, including Skyline Heights Sch and Forest Heights Sch, alongside the County Hospital and the central Courthouse.

Southeast of the city, the landscape transitions into rural townships where an Old Railroad Grade cuts a straight line through the hills toward Bellefonte. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds such as Milum Cem, Freeling Cem, and Holmes Cem. The southern reach of the map near Elmwood is defined by the high ground of Pilot Mountain and smaller community centers like Tompkins Ch, illustrating the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the Ozark plateau before modern suburbanization.
