1965 Map of Stegall Mountain

About this map

Stegall Mountain and Mule Mountain dominate this landscape within the Ozark Highlands, where the Peck Ranch State Wildlife Management Area and Mark Twain National Forest converge. This mid-1960s survey captures the intersection of Shannon and Carter counties, defined by a complex network of hollows such as Wildcat Hollow and Winding Stairs Hollow. The drainage of Rocky Creek flows toward the Current River, passing the notable Rocky Falls. Local history is anchored by the Horner Ch and Reed Cem, while evidence of earlier industrial activity persists at a labeled Mine and a Lookout Tower on the heights. The topography reflects a deeply dissected plateau, where narrow ridges separate named peaks like Shut-in Mountain and Thorny Mountain, and a Landing Field provides a point of modern utility in the secluded terrain.
