1968 Map of Pine Crest

About this map

Jacks Fork carves a winding path through the Ozark landscape, defining the character of this terrain in the late 1960s. The waterway is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, where the river’s north and south prongs converge. This river-centered economy is reflected in the numerous river crossings and features, such as Harlow Ford and Ratcliff Ford, and the presence of the YMCA Campground and Blue Spring. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the Missouri Ozarks, with small communities like Arroll and Turnerville serving the surrounding agricultural and timber lands.
