1966 Map of Ravenden Springs

About this map

Ravenden Springs serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, illustrating a rural landscape shaped by the winding paths of Janes Creek and Hall Creek. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local family history and community life, evidenced by a high density of small cemeteries such as Charter Oak Cem, Brown Cem, and Wyatt Cem scattered across the hills. To the northeast, the Eleven Point R cuts through the terrain near Rickman Creek, while significant landmarks like Baker Bluff and Locust Ridge define the local topography. This map documents a period before modern sprawl, showing rural institutions like Bethany Ch and Valley Chapel that anchored these Ozark foothills. For those researching the Randolph Co and Lawrence Co border area, the map provides a precise record of late mid-century farmsteads and rural infrastructure.
