About this map

The Gasconade River meanders through this portion of Laclede County, shaping a landscape of deep hollows and rural settlements. Near the community of Brownfield, the river is joined by several tributaries, including Bell Branch and Cole Creek. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial sites, such as Brownfield Cemetery, Rollins Cemetery, and Nicks Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogists tracking local lineages.

South of the river, the small settlement of Adam Ford sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle, while Greenview lies to the east. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Bench Hollow and Cantrel Hollow, showing the complex drainage patterns feeding into Roubidoux Creek. Infrastructure including the Fairview Lookout Tower and a network of named local roads like Smokey Rd and Flagstone Rd provide context for the area's twentieth-century development and land management.
