About this map

Maries River and the Little Maries River define this rural landscape at the junction of Maries, Pulaski, and Phelps counties. The southern edge of the sheet captures the northern expansion of Dixon, where residential streets like N Ellen St and Champion Rd meet the undulating terrain of the Ozark foothills. This area is characterized by scattered family homesteads and a network of secondary routes such as Cedar Valley Rd and Maries Road 630 that follow the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across the township, including Fairview Cem near the river and the isolated Guardian Angel Cem to the north. The namesake Big Bend settlement sits east of Clifty Hollow, illustrating a long-established pattern of upland farming and creek-valley settlement. Smaller water features like Fly Cr and Montague Cr feed into the larger river system, supporting local landmarks such as Big V Ranch Lake.
