About this map

Ozark serves as the focal point of this 1970 study, situated along the winding course of Finley Creek where the Garrison Branch and Melton Spring feed into the waterway. The town’s layout in this era shows a mix of industrial and community markers, including a Water Tank, Radio Tower, and several quarries. To the north, the St Louis-San Francisco railway cuts a straight path across the landscape toward Cassidy, passing by Air Park South and a local Drag Strip.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites such as Weaver Cem, Garrison Cem, and Gibson-Porter Cem. The terrain is defined by its karst features, with named landmarks like Smallin Cave, Garrison Cave, and Woody Cave tucked into the hollows. To the east, the settlement of Linden sits near Lindenlure Lake, illustrating the traditional connection between early Ozark communities and the river-and-creek system.
