1980 Map of Cascade

About this map

Coldwater State Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Missouri Ozarks terrain, where the Cascade Lookout Tower stands as a focal point near Cascade. The geography is defined by a dense network of hollows—such as White Patch Hollow and Puch Hollow—that drain into larger watercourses like Big Creek and Twelvemile Creek. This 1980 edition captures the rural settlement patterns along the Madison and Wayne county line, where small communities like Gravelton and Twelvemile are clustered near historic spiritual centers including Zion Ch and Buckhorn Ch. The abundance of family-named cemeteries, from Huffman-McKelvey Cem to the Dixon-Sutton Cem, provides a detailed record of local genealogy within the wooded hills and creek valleys.
