1940 Map of Mt Judea

About this map

The Buffalo River and Little Buffalo River carve deep through the Ozark landscape of the Boston Mountains, anchoring a network of small mountain communities surveyed in the early 1930s. The region is defined by its high points and narrow hollows, where local life centered around small schools and churches such as the Union Hill Sch and Coal Hill Ch. Strategic vantage points across the ridges are marked by the Deer Fire Tower and the Ketcherside Fire Tower, reflecting the era's focus on forest management and conservation.
