About this map

The Clark National Forest blankets this corner of the Missouri Ozarks, where the boundary between Washington and Iron Counties follows the high ridgelines. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several significant waterways, including the Big River and the Middle Fork Black River, which carve through the heavily wooded terrain. This 1960s survey documents a quiet rural network of small congregations and family resting places, such as Council Bluff Ch and the Terry Cem.

High points like Johnson Mountain and Bell Mountain dominate the topography, with the former hosting a Lookout Tower overlooking the surrounding wilderness. Human activity is scattered along the valleys, from the small community of Enough to the Keith Springs Picnic Area. Interesting geological and historical markers such as Peter Cave No 1 and Peter Cave No 2 are noted along Peter Cave Hol, while the Fifth Principal Meridian serves as a critical survey baseline for the entire region.
