1968 Map of Van Buren South

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Current River serves as the primary corridor for settlement in this 1960s Ozark landscape, where the town of Van Buren and its neighbor South Van Buren are established alongside the St Louis-San Francisco railroad line. The map highlights a transition from riverside commerce to the heavily timbered interior of the Mark Twain National Forest. A network of hollows, such as Secesh Hollow and Poca Hollow, dictates the rural road patterns and settlement locations within Carter County. Fire detection is a visible priority across these wooded ridges, evidenced by the presence of the Eagle Lookout Tower, Big Spring Lookout Tower, and Eastwood Lookout Tower. Local history is preserved in several family and community landmarks, including Turley Cem, the Dry Valley Ch, and the small community of Eastwood near the southern boundary of the quadrangle.
