About this map

Magazine Mountain dominates this mid-1960s landscape, providing a high-elevation backdrop for the rural communities and natural areas along the border of Logan, Yell, and Johnson Counties. The rugged interior is primarily occupied by the Ozark National Forest, featuring distinct ridges such as Rich Mountain, Huckleberry Mountain, and North Pointer Ridge. Along the southern edge, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad follows the valley of Piney Creek, passing through the small settlement of Ferguson.

Local history is preserved in numerous scattered landmarks, including Mt Salem Ch and several burial grounds like Antioch Cem and Valentine Cem. The map also details recreational development at the Greenfield Recreation Area and East End Recreation Area, while hydrology is defined by the spillway of Cove Lake and the winding course of Big Shoal Creek. The pattern of land use shows a clear division between the timbered national forest and the lower, more developed valleys.
