1966 Map of Norfork SE

About this map

Ozark National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Ozark Plateau is etched by complex drainage systems like Matney Creek and North Fork Sylamore Creek. The map documents a period when access was transitioning from an older network of jeep trails and unnamed paths to improved routes like Beaver Road and Barkshed Road. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Acklin Cem and another Cem near the forest edge, while landmarks like the Lookout Tower on Push Mountain indicate the ongoing management of these timberlands.
