1967 Map of Viburnum West

About this map

Clark National Forest dominates the landscape of this late 1960s orthophotomap, where the rugged topography of the Ozarks is captured through aerial photography and topographic contouring. The settlement of Viburnum sits at the eastern edge of the sheet, adjacent to industrial features like a Tailings Pond and a Landing Strip, signaling the region's mid-century mining activity. To the northwest, the small community of Dillard is situated near the confluence of Huzzah Creek and its West Branch. The map reveals a complex network of hollows, including Possum Hollow and Bills Hollow, which drain into larger systems like Courtois Creek. Genealogists may find interest in several rural Cem sites located along the winding valley roads that connect these isolated settlements through the wooded terrain of Dent, Crawford, and Iron counties.
