1973 Map of Weathers

About this map

The Kings River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Ozark National Forest along the border of Madison and Newton Counties. The landscape is defined by its numerous hollows and steep ridges, with small settlements like Weathers, Venus, and Reynolds situated on the high ground or along the river's winding course. The map provides a detailed view of early 1970s rural life, where community centers are anchored by landmarks like Venus Ch and a collection of family and community burial grounds, including Mt Olive Cem, Dripping Springs Cem, and Eagle Gap Cem.
