1962 Map of Stuart

About this map

The South Fork Spring River and the Spring River converge in this Ozark borderland, creating a landscape defined by significant water development and recreational growth in the early 1960s. The map captures the emergence of planned communities like Cherokee Village and Hidden Valley, characterized by their intricate networks of residential drives such as Pontiac Drive and Algonquin Circle. Numerous artificial water bodies, including Thunderbird Lake and Lake Sequoyah, are central to the area's mid-century layout, with a dam under construction noted near the Fulton and Sharp County line.
