1978 Map of Huzzah

About this map

Huzzah Creek and Courtois Creek wind through this heavily forested section of the Mark Twain National Forest during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and limestone springs, including Westover Spring, Gibbs Spring, and Hickman Spring. A notable concentration of community landmarks appears near the center of the sheet, such as the Westover Lookout Tower and a nearby Fish Hatchery. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many small family and community burial grounds, including Gibbs Cem, Keener Cem, Dodkin Cem, and Haffer Cem. Narrow passage points along the water, labeled as the Lower Narrows and Upper Narrows, illustrate the winding, constricted nature of the local river valleys before they open into broader bottoms near settlements like Westover and Huzzah.
