About this map

Historic Route 66 cuts diagonally through the northwest corner of this Missouri landscape, passing directly through the community of Caffeyville. This corridor remains a focal point of the local geography, connecting smaller settlements like Morgan and Evergreen to the broader regional network. The terrain is defined by a series of significant valleys and depressions, most notably the Goodwin Hollow and the Silver Mine Sink, which illustrate the distinct karst-like topography of the area.

Genealogists will find several well-preserved burial sites across the township lines, including White Oak Pond Cemetery, Pisgah Cemetery, and Kissee Cemetery. The water systems, led by the winding path of Brush Creek and its tributary S Fork Brush Cr, dictate the placement of local roads such as Dove Rd and Pecan Dr. The map provides a detailed view of these rural homesteads and family landmarks before further 21st-century development.
