About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape of the Missouri Ozarks, characterized by an extensive system of state forests and protected riverways. The Current River and Jacks Fork are protected as part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, showing a region dedicated to conservation and natural resource management. Small agricultural and timber communities like Licking, Summersville, and Mountain View serve as local hubs, while industrial activity is noted at the Fletcher Mine and Adair Creek Mine.

The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying numerous local landmarks such as Oakside Ch, Montier Ch, and several community burial grounds including Houston Cem and Licking Cem. Topographically, the area is defined by distinctive peaks such as Stegall Mountain and Thorny Mountain, while conservation efforts are reflected in the numerous state tracts like Clow State Forest and Deer Run State Forest.
