About this map

Magazine Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a dramatic change in elevation where the Ozark National Forest meets the surrounding valleys. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Rich Mountain and Huckleberry Mountain, with deep valleys such as Bear Hollow carved out by Big Shoal Creek and its many tributaries. Settlement patterns are sparse, primarily concentrated in small communities like Waveland and Ferguson along the southern edge, where the Chicago Rock Island And Pacific railroad runs parallel to the hills.

Local history is preserved in several rural sites, including Mt Salem Ch and a collection of family and community cemeteries like Antioch Cem and Liberty Cem. The area serves as a transition between industrial rail corridors and the recreational spaces of the forest, such as Cove Lake and the East End Recreation Area. These features trace the mid-century balance of timber lands, small-scale farming, and the developing leisure infrastructure in Logan County.
