1968 Map of Osage SW

About this map

The Kings River and Buffalo River headwaters define this portion of the Ozark landscape in the late 1960s. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of hollows, including Hamstring Hollow, Pickle Hollow, and McCullough Hollow, which dictate the placement of small settlements and transit routes. Local activity centers on the community of George and the nearby Hopewell Cemetery, while Stoverville sits near the eastern edge of the survey. The mapping includes Lost Valley State Park along Clark Creek, illustrating the early preservation of these natural corridors. Small landmarks such as Elkhorn Church and Liberty Church provide essential reference points for genealogists tracking family roots in these rural townships. The drainage patterns of Osage Creek and Kenner Creek illustrate the historical isolation and specific development of these creek-bottom communities.
