1943 Map of Thornfield

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Little North Fork White River carves a deep path through this portion of the Mark Twain National Forest, defining the rugged Ozark landscape during the early 1940s. Small, dispersed settlements like Theodosia and Thornfield serve as hubs for a rural population reliant on the river and its many spring-fed tributaries. The map reveals a high density of country schools and churches, such as Barefoot Sch, Mt Lebanon Sch, and the True Hope Ch, illustrating the decentralized social structure of the era. Evidence of early river crossings remains at Mayhan Ford and Horse Ford, prior to significant modern water management changes downstream. High points like Bald Jess and the Alkali Lookout tower over the hollows, while the boundary between Ozark Co and Marion Co marks the transition into Arkansas.
