About this map

The Little Niangua River carves a winding path through the center of this Camden County landscape, defining the local topography and settlement patterns. The small community of Barnumton sits at a crossroads in the north, while Bannister anchors the southwestern reaches near Bannister Ford. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named hollows, including Chalk Hollow and Lime Kiln Hollow, which suggest the historic importance of the region's limestone resources and spring-fed drainage.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites and family landmarks across the quadrangle. Small family and community graveyards such as Hurst Cem, Edwards Cem, and Warren Cem are scattered along the ridges and valley floors. Notable spiritual and social centers include the Parrack Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cem, while numerous water sources like Toby Spring and Eadsons Spring highlight the essential reliance on natural springs in this Ozark Plateau environment.
