1968 Map of Osage SW

About this map

The Buffalo River headwaters and the deeply incised valleys of the Boston Mountains characterize this 1968 survey of the Newton and Madison County border. Small rural communities like Stoverville and Dinsmore anchor a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where numerous hollows such as Sugar Camp Hollow and Hamstring Hollow drain toward the Kings River and the Buffalo. The presence of Lost Valley State Park in the southeast corner highlights the area's transition into a protected wilderness corridor during the mid-20th century.
