About this map

The Mark Twain National Forest dominates much of this landscape, where the rugged Saint Francois Mountains define the local geography. Between Ironton and Arcadia, the map reveals a community focused on leisure and convalescence during the late 1960s, featuring the Arcadia Valley Golf Club, a Drive-in Theater, and a Home for the Aged. To the east, Lake Killarney is flanked by the Killarney Shores development and the Arcadia Valley Bible Camp.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Allgier Cem, Cove Cem, and Sutton Cem. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Pilot Knob and Anderson Mountain, while the numerous "hollows" like Devils Den Hollow and Barren Hollow illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into Stouts Creek. Old extractive industries are noted simply as Mines near the northern border, hinting at the region's long history of mineral wealth.
