2014 Map of Rosetta

About this map

The Boston Mountains dominate this 2014 topographic study of northern Johnson County, where the high-altitude settlement of Rosetta sits near the headwaters of Lick Cr. This area of the Ozark National Forest is defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep hollows, including Bee Ridge and Pine Ridge, which channel drainage into Big Piney Creek and Little Piney Creek. The map provides specific locations for local genealogical research, such as the Rosetta Cem and Union Cem. Human activity is concentrated along ridge-top roads like State Hwy 123 and Pine Ridge Rd, while the southern portion of the quadrangle descends toward Garber and the peaks of Ozone Mtn and Pilot Rock Mtn. This terrain illustrates the isolated nature of Ozark plateau communities and the persistent reliance on natural geography for transport and settlement patterns.
