1967 Map of Hilda

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of Taney County, where the topography is defined by high ridges like Blair Ridge and deep hollows draining into the meandering Beaver Creek. The landscape preserves a record of scattered rural community life, centered on the settlement of Hilda and spiritual landmarks like the Chapel of the Ozarks and New Machion Ch. The impact of civil engineering is evident in the west, where the waters of Bull Shoals Lake reach into the creek valleys.
