1969 Map of Mountain View SW

About this map

Turkey Creek and Tomahawk Creek carve through the varied topography of Stone County, defining a landscape of narrow hollows and high ridges. The area reflects a late-1960s rural character where small settlements like West Richwoods and Sunny Land are connected by a network of winding roads and trails. Evidence of local heritage is clear in the distribution of community landmarks, including the Mennonite Ch and Cem Elizabeth Ch. The terrain transitions from the heights of Blue Mountain and Indian Knob down into numerous family-named valleys such as Murphy Ridge and McGee Hollow. Agricultural activity is marked by fence lines visible from aerial photography, while industrial traces appear at the Quarries and a Mine near Coal Hollow. This documentation provides a record of the Ozark foothills before more modern development, preserving the location of established cemeteries like Fredonia Cem and Finch Cem.
