About this map

Spring River and its tributary, White Oak Creek, wind through this section of Jasper County, defining a landscape of agricultural tracts and small rural communities. The settlement of Avilla sits at a crossroads in the eastern portion of the map, while the historic namesake of Forest Mills is situated along the riverbanks to the west. This 2015 update reflects a region where family and local heritage are preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Fasken Cemetery, Summerset Cemetery, and Williams Cemetery.

Aviation activity is a distinctive characteristic of the area, as evidenced by several small landing strips such as Sunderland Airport, Andrews Airport, Nimsick Airport, and the Route 66 Airfield. These private and local facilities, alongside named roads like Nova RD and Kafir RD, illustrate the modern transportation network laid over the traditional township and range divisions of Southwest Missouri.
