1949 Map of Round Spring

About this map

Round Spring State Park anchors this mid-century survey of the Current River valley, a landscape defined by its complex karst topography and deep spring networks. The map details the Ozark wilderness within the Clark National Forest, where steep hollows like Bear Pen Hollow and Hellums Hollow drain into the winding river system. Notable for local historians are the numerous country schools and industrial relics, including Falk Mill and Mansers Mill, which speak to the area's timber and milling economy before the expansion of recreational land use.
