About this map

Aurora serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated on the border where Lawrence and Barry Counties meet. The town's grid is flanked by significant local landmarks including Mount Calvary Cemetery and Mapel Park Cemetery, while the Jerry Sumners Sr Aurora Municipal Airport sits just to the east. Beyond the main settlement, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural farm roads and natural features.

The southern half of the map reveals a more varied topography, defined by Little Crane Valley and the winding course of the Spring River. This area is dotted with small outlying communities such as Bonham, Osa, and Revisville, which are connected by an extensive network of farm-to-market routes. Genealogists may find value in the scattered rural burial grounds, such as Buck Prairie Cemetery near Honey Creek and Mars Hill Cemetery in the southeast corner. Natural water sources like Wise Spring highlight the geographic character of the region's foothills.
