1890 Map of Mountain Home

About this map

Mountain Home serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century landscape, a time when the region's geography was defined by the winding paths of the White River and the North Fork White River. This survey, conducted by H.B. Blair and overseen by Henry Gannett, captures the Ozarks before the major dam projects of the 20th century altered the river valleys. The map documents a network of small upland settlements like Elizabeth, Gassville, and Wild Cherry, alongside river-dependent locations such as Buffalo City and Calico Rock.
