2021 Map of Branch

About this map

The Little Niangua River snakes through the center of this terrain where Hickory, Camden, and Dallas counties converge. The small settlement of Almon sits near the river's northern bend, while Branch occupies the eastern edge near the junction of Long Br and Brush Cr. This rural landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including Macks Cr, Pippin Br, and Thomas Cr, which create a series of narrow ridges and hollows such as Coffey Hollow Rd. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Little Niangua Cem and Stanton Chapel Cem, while the road system, including State Hwy BB and State Hwy W, follows the winding topography to connect scattered homesteads and private lands.
