About this map

Aurora and Marionville anchor this survey of the Missouri Ozark Plateau, where the headwaters of the Spring River and Crane Creek begin their descent through the rolling landscape. The town of Aurora displays a dense grid of streets and numerous community landmarks, including the Berry Cemetery, Maple Park Cemetery, and Aurora-Old City Cemetery. The Missouri & Northern Arkansas RR cuts across the northern half of the region, passing through the eastern settlement of Marionville and connecting the area's agricultural and municipal centers.

To the south, the terrain shifts into a more dissected topography defined by Hickory Hollow and Sage Hill. Smaller, rural communities such as Bonham, Osa, and Revisville are situated along the winding roads that follow the ridges and creek valleys. Water features like Wise Spring, Little Crane Creek, and Calton Creek drain this upland country, illustrating the complex drainage patterns at the Lawrence and Barry County line.
