1983 Map of Lanton

About this map

Lanton and Cornertown anchor this survey of the Missouri-Arkansas border region in Howell County, where the landscape is defined by the high crest of Myatt Dividing Ridge. The map illustrates a complex network of drainage basins, with the South Fork Spring River and numerous hollows like Devils Den Hollow and Sycamore Hollow carving through the Ozark terrain. A significant portion of the southern area is occupied by the White River State Forest, while the presence of a Lime Klin and family-named landmarks like Meitaberger Cem provide glimpses into the local industry and settlement patterns of the early 1980s. Water features are particularly dense in the northern section, including Tingler Lake, Slace-Shannon Lake, and Myatt Pond.
