About this map

Bolivar and Buffalo serve as the primary hubs in this late nineteenth-century portrait of southwestern Missouri, which encompasses parts of Polk, Dallas, and Hickory counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pomme De Terre River and the Niangua River, which carved intricate drainage patterns through the plateau before the era of modern reservoirs. Smaller settlements like Hermitage, Urbana, and Wheatland are shown in their early configurations, connected by a network of primitive roads that follow the high ridges between creek systems.
