1982 Map of Rocky Comfort

About this map

Rocky Comfort serves as the primary focal point of this rural Ozark landscape, situated near the intersection of the Newton and McDonald County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered ridges and named hollows, reflecting a topography that heavily influenced early Missouri settlement patterns. Deep drainages such as Layton Hollow, Chairbottom Hollow, and Reed Springs Hollow provide a detailed look at the area's natural drainage into Indian Creek and Shoal Creek. Further south, the map illustrates the transition into Barry County near the small community of Ridgley. Notable landmarks include Christian Spring and a local Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the townships of Richwood, Liberty, and Franklin.
