About this map

The high ridges and deep hollows of Izard County are meticulously documented in this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by small upland settlements and the winding paths of Piney Creek and Brushy Creek. The community of Pineville serves as a central hub, connected to outlying points like Dolph and Crossroads by a network of winding local roads. This era of the Ozarks is marked by its numerous rural congregations and family burial grounds, including Campgrounds Ch and the Cresswell Cem.

The map reveals an economy tied to the land, with Gravel Pits scattered near Little Creek and the small settlement of Forty Four anchored by a Roadside Park. Regional boundaries like Bryan and Guthrie organize the terrain, while landmarks such as Hively Mountain provide prominent topographical anchors for researchers tracing ancestral farmsteads or local geography before modern development altered the rural character of these hill country townships.
