2021 Map of Billings

About this map

The town of Billings sits at a geographic crossroads in southwest Missouri, where the boundaries of Lawrence, Greene, and Christian counties converge. This landscape is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including Pickerel Cr to the north and the upper reaches of Turnback Cr and Terrell Cr to the south. The area is notable for its high density of small, family-linked and denominational burial grounds, such as Blades Chapel Cem near Hagewood Lake and Saint Joseph's Cem. These sites, along with the settlement at Logan, suggest a long history of established rural communities that developed along the ridge lines and creek valleys like McCullah Hollow. The survey captures the transition from these historic settlements toward the growing edges of Republic and the northern outskirts of Marionville.
