1965 Map of Stegall Mountain

About this map

The Current River flows through the northeastern corner of this Ozark landscape, which is dominated by the sprawling conservation lands of the Peck Ranch State Wildlife Management Area and the Mark Twain National Forest. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows, such as Winding Stairs Hollow, Terrapin Hollow, and Slick Rock Hollow, which carve around prominent peaks like Stegall Mountain and Thorny Mountain. A noteworthy landmark is Rocky Falls, located where Rocky Creek tumbles through the igneous rock formations common to this region. Traces of local community life appear in the northwest, where Horner Ch and Reed Cem sit near Horner Hollow. The inclusion of a Landing Field and a Lookout Tower reflects mid-century fire management and accessibility efforts within these protected forest lands.
