1973 Map of West Fork

About this map

West Fork and Greenland serve as the primary anchors of this Ozark landscape, where the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and the West Fork White River parallel one another through a winding valley. This 1973 survey details a rural Washington County environment transitionally caught between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of a Substation, Sewage Disposal Pond, and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northwestern ridges. Local genealogy is well-documented through a series of family and community landmarks, such as Boone Cem, the Campbell Ch Cem, and the small settlement of Woolsey. Elevations are defined by significant peaks like Bloyd Mountain and West Mountain, which enclose the river corridor. The map provides a precise look at the area's social fabric before extensive modern expansion, preserved here through the location of country houses, the High Sch at West Fork, and outlying quarries.
