1940 Map of Iconium

About this map

The Osage River meanders sharply through this 1940 survey, carving the distinctive Horseshoe Bend in the northwest. This rural landscape on the border of St. Clair, Benton, and Hickory counties is defined by a network of hollows—such as Blalock Hollow and Snyder Hollow—that drain into the Briley Creek and Hogles Creek watersheds. The settlement of Iconium serves as a local hub, while smaller communities like Corbin and Harper mark the intersections of early mid-century road networks.
