2011 Map of Mountain View SW

About this map

Mountain View sits at the northern edge of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the topography is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and narrow valley floors, with communities like East Richwoods, West Richwoods, and Sunny Land connected by a web of county roads. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Finch Mountain and Indian Knob, which overlook the winding paths of Tomahawk Creek and Lick Fork. Genealogists will find notable burial sites recorded here, including Fredonia Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle and Finch Cemetery further south. Numerous family-named landmarks like Brown Camp Hollow, McGee Hollow, and Wade Hill suggest the deep roots of local homesteads. The map illustrates a rural area where the natural drainage of features like Cave Spring Branch and Turkey Creek has long dictated the placement of homesteads and thoroughfares.
