About this map

Arkansas River navigation and the mid-century development of Ozark Lake dominate this mid-1960s survey of Franklin County. The town of Ozark sits at a major bend in the river, where the Missouri Pacific railroad parallels the northern bank. A significant detail of this era is the inclusion of blue hatching, which indicates land soon to be submerged by the creation of the reservoir.

South of the river, smaller communities like Webb City and Roseville are surrounded by a landscape of industry and faith, dotted with numerous Quarries, Gravel Pits, and country churches such as Corinth Ch. Genealogical interest is high given the density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Highland Cemetery, Pilot Grove Cem, and Ridge Cem, which document the long-standing settlements in the White Oak and Barham townships.
