2015 Map of Branch

About this map

The Little Niangua River carves a winding path through the Ozark foothills at the junction of Hickory, Camden, and Dallas Counties. This 2015 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the small communities of Almon, Branch, and Elixer. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, from the Cahootchie Cr in the southwest to the Macks Cr in the northeast, each creating a network of ridges and drainages like Coffee Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant cultural landmarks including the Little Niangua Cemetery and Stanton Cemetery. The road network consists largely of secondary routes such as Lakota Rd, Elixer Rd, and Mill School Rd, reflecting the persistent rural settlement patterns where small holdings are linked by family-named tracks and county lanes across the diverse terrain of the Missouri Ozarks.
