1959 Map of Proctor Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Proctor Lookout Tower stands as a central landmark overlooking the intricate drainage network of Morgan County, where the topography is defined by dozens of named valleys and ridges. In the late 1950s, the southern edge of this landscape meets the northern reaches of the Lake of the Ozarks, a major transformation of the Proctor Creek basin. The area is marked by a deep-rooted rural character, indicated by numerous family-named hollows such as Spangler Hollow, Markham Hollow, and Decker Hollow. Local life centered around small congregations at Richey Ch and Locust Ch. The presence of several Quarries and a sawmill at Sawmill Hollow points to an economy tied to the land's timber and stone resources, while the winding course of Gravois Creek and the prominent Backbone ridge dictate the region's natural corridors.
