1942 Map of Snowball

About this map

Buffalo River and Richland Creek dominate this 1930s landscape, winding through the steep topography of the Ozark National Forest. The map documents a rural community structure defined by small mountain settlements like Snowball and Witt Springs, where life centered around a dense network of local institutions. Dozens of country schools, such as Juanita Sch and Welcome Home Sch, are spaced throughout the hollows, often paired with community burial grounds like Hendrix Cem or Arnold Cem.
