About this map

Crooked Creek meanders sharply through the north-central portion of this mid-1960s Ozark landscape, defining the layout of Yellville and the nearby town of Summit. The area's topography is marked by significant natural landmarks such as Natural Bridge and the Shawnee Cave to the south, while the ridge lines are punctuated by summits like Bald Jesse and Hall Mountain. Human activity is centered around the intersection of Highway 62 and Highway 14, where the Yellville-Summit Sch serves the local community.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Yellville Cem and Wickersham Cem to small community hubs like Ralph and Cowan. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Marion County just before the modern era, showing several named churches like Brown Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch, alongside industrial features like the Freck Lookout Tower and scattered Mine and Quarry sites.
