About this map

The small rural community of Peace Valley sits at the heart of this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding Ozark plateau. To the southeast, the landscape transitions toward the unincorporated settlement of Fanchon along the Middle Fork Gunter Valley. The map reveals a deeply rooted social fabric through its country churches, including Hilltop Holiness Ch, Bennett Chapel, and Pilgrims Rest Ch.

Industry and natural resources are quietly represented by several Kilns and a Mine located east of the main settlement. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Eleven Point River and Little Creek, while the presence of Black Pond and Lost Pond highlights the unique karst topography of the region. These features, along with names like Walnut Sink Hollow and Blowing Springs, indicate a landscape where water and geography have long dictated human movement and agriculture.
