1968 Map of Ravenden

About this map

The Spring River and its tributary canyons dominate this portion of the Ozark foothills, where the St Louis-San Francisco River railroad line follows the water's edge through Williford and Ravenden. This 1960s survey illustrates a landscape deeply etched by drainage patterns, from Oliver Creek in the north to the Strawberry River along the southern boundary. Between these rivers, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including North Lebanon Ridge and Van Wagoner Ridge, which dictate the placement of rural homesteads and upland roads.
