1968 Map of Wilderness

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this landscape in southern Missouri, where the rugged topography is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The small settlement of Wilderness sits at a junction of forest roads, including Barnes Road and the historic Tram Road, which suggests earlier timber-hauling activities. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the winding course of the Eleven Point River as it rounds the sharp loop at Horseshoe Bend. Numerous family-named and topographic landmarks populate the area, from the Freeman Cem near the northern boundary to the Sinking Creek Lookout Tower. The landscape is dotted with several specialized water features such as Falling Spring, Brawley Pond, and Camp Nine Pond, reflecting the karst geography and the practical water management required for forestry and local habitation in the late 1960s.
