About this map

Caffeyville and Huben sit along the diagonal corridor of the St-Louis-San Francisco railroad, which cuts through this Ozark landscape. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems such as Brush Creek and its South Fork, as well as numerous hollows like Dog Hollow and Selvage Hollow. Much of the central and eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Osage Fork State Forest, a significant protected area within the Laclede and Webster county regions.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of country churches and family burial grounds. Researchers can find landmarks like Bear Thicket Ch, Liberty Ch, and the White Oak Pond Ch Cem. Unusual geological features like Silver Mine Sink and industrial sites such as a Quarry near the western boundary reflect the area's physical and economic relationship with its limestone and mineral foundations.
