1966 Map of Midway

About this map

Three Brothers and Midway anchor this Ozark landscape during the mid-1960s, a period defined by the massive reservoirs of the White River system. The map documents the high-water marks for Bull Shoals Lake and Norfork Lake, showing how these impoundments transformed the deep valleys of Sister Creek and Howard Creek into sprawling fingers of water. Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community landmarks, including Three Brothers Church and a network of burial grounds like Oakland Cemetery and Conley Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Negro Knob and Promise Land Ridge, while the presence of a Landing Strip and several Gravel Pits reflects the area's mid-century infrastructure and resource extraction. Significant for genealogists, the map also identifies scattered fords and springs along Pigeon Creek and Walker Creek.
