About this map

The town of Boswell serves as the primary hub in this Choctaw County landscape, situated along the St Louis San Francisco railroad line. The surrounding territory is defined by the complex hydrology of the Muddy Boggy Creek and Clear Boggy Creek, which meander through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. These waterways create a series of oxbow features including Brushy Lake, Mosley Lake, and Hogpen Lake, illustrating the naturally shifting course of the regional drainage systems before modern channelization.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as St James Ch No 2 and Oak Ridge Ch, alongside several family and community burial sites like Restland Cem, Wade Cem, and Pierce Cem. The northern reach is notably occupied by the McLeod Honor Farm, while a Fish Hatchery appears in the eastern hills, reflecting the diverse agricultural and institutional land use of the late 1960s.
