1973 Map of St. Paul

About this map

The White River winds through the southern Ozark highlands on this 1973 survey, carving a path between the steep elevations of the Ozark National Forest and the Madison-Franklin county line. The settlement of St Paul serves as a primary hub in the valley, complemented by the nearby communities of Combs and Brashears. This landscape is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Mill Creek Cem, Hickory Creek Cem, and Riverside Cem, which provide critical reference points for genealogical research in this region. High peaks like Standley Mountain and Chimney Rock Mtn overlook the numerous hollows and branches that feed the river system, while the Fly Gap Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on McKay Ridge. The map details a complex network of forest roads and land divisions established just before the mid-1970s.
