About this map

Industrial activity and rural community life define this section of the Mark Twain National Forest in the mid-1960s. The landscape is heavily marked by the Lead Belt mining operations, centered around the Viburnum Mine and Magmont Mine, with extensive Tailings Ponds and a specialized infrastructure that includes the Viburnum Landing Strip and the Burlington Northern railroad lines. These industrial sites contrast with the deeply dissected terrain of the Ozarks, characterized by numerous hollows like Mason Hollow and Payne Hollow.

Local history is preserved in the network of small settlements and family landmarks scattered throughout the hills. Communities such as Viburnum, Bixby, and Goodland are shown alongside vital social centers like the West End Sch and Hickory Grove Ch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of rural burial grounds, including Abbott Cem, Chandler Cem, and Turner Cem, which sit near the winding headwaters of the Middle Fork Black River.
