2015 Map of Billings

About this map

Billings and the southwestern edge of Republic anchor this landscape at the intersection of Christian, Greene, and Lawrence counties. The topography is defined by the headwaters of Turnback Creek and Pickerel Creek, with the elevation rising toward Coyote Ridge in the southeast. Significant for local family researchers, the map documents numerous small burial grounds such as Brashers Cemetery, Laney Cemetery, and Smart Cemetery. The BNSF Railway corridor cuts diagonally through the terrain, passing through Logan and toward Marionville, reflecting the historical transportation backbone of the region. Distinctive landmarks like McCullah Hollow and several denominational sites, including Saint Joseph Cemetery and Saint Peters Evangelical Cemetery, provide concrete reference points for tracing early Ozark settlements and land ownership patterns.
