About this map

Mountain Home serves as the focal point of this Baxter County survey, showing a period of significant expansion as noted by the purple revisions marking new urban growth and facilities like the Baxter Hospital. The landscape transitions from the concentrated municipal infrastructure of the Courthouse and City Hall to a rural network of small communities and family landmarks. The southern edge of the map follows the winding course of the White River and the Missouri Pacific railroad, highlighting the historical transportation corridor between Baxter and Marion counties.

Smaller settlements like Monkey Run and Colfax are anchored by local institutions such as Westside Ch and the Community Center. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Old Lonon Mountain and Capitol Hill, while numerous small cemeteries such as Pilgrims Rest Cem and Tucker Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research. The inclusion of the Baxter County Regional Airport and the County Fairground reflects the county's developing role as a regional hub during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
