About this map

Mountain View serves as the regional hub for Stone County on this late 1960s survey, surrounded by a complex landscape of hollows and high points. The town's periphery is marked by the Wilcox Memorial Airport and the prominent Blue Mountain ridge to the east. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Rocky Bayou and Raccoon Creek, which define the settlement patterns of smaller communities such as Luber and Hanover.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including family and community burial grounds like Flatwoods Cem, Whitfield Cem, and Case Cem. The spiritual life of the area is anchored by Nirkee Chapel and Case Ch. On the higher elevations, features such as the Lookout Tower and Simpson Point overlook the numerous hollows, including Ripley Hollow and Wade Hollow, that characterize this portion of the Ozark foothills.
