About this map

Bennett Springs serves as the focal point of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the waters of the Niangua River and Bennett Spring Branch meet. The area is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Danceyard Cr and Spring Hollow Cr, which have carved out notable features like Dogwood Hollow and Woodward Hollow. The geological character of the region is further evidenced by the Bennett Spring Natural Tunnel, a significant subterranean formation located south of the main springs.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several family and community burial grounds, such as Atchley-Blackfoot Cemetery and Lowery Cemetery. The map captures the intersection of Laclede and Dallas counties during a period when the area remained predominantly rural, linked by routes like Mo-64 and Highway WW. Genealogists may find interest in landmarks such as William Elam Lake and the settlement of Spring Hollow, providing a clear view of the mid-2010s land usage and property divisions.
