About this map

Hartshorn and the surrounding timberlands of Hartshorn State Forest define this landscape along the Texas and Shannon County line. Surveyed in the mid-20th century with updates through the early 1980s, the map reveals a rural Ozark community organized around isolated schools and churches. The intricate drainage network of the Current River and Big Creek dictates the placement of early settlements and family landmarks.

Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds like Antioch Cem and Smith Cem, while the educational landscape of the era is marked by the Pine Flats Sch, Round Valley Sch, and Nile Sch. These features, often located near hollows like Rebel Cave Hollow or Dugan Hollow, illustrate the traditional settlement patterns of the Missouri Ozarks before modern consolidation altered the rural fabric.
