1956 Map of Hollister

Genealogists will find significant local history in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Vandzant Cem, Horton Cem, and Gobbler Knob Cem. The map captures the area just as modern infrastructure began to overlay the older settlement patterns, evidenced by the presence of Clark Airport near the traditional homesteads of the Oliver and Scott districts. This survey reflects the mid-century character of Taney County before extensive later development altered the rural valley landscape.
