About this map

Caulfield anchors this Ozark Plateau landscape where the Ozark and Howell County line bisects a terrain defined by deep hollows and prolific springs. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows a string of small settlements along the highway corridor, including Arditta, Egypt Grove, and Hocomo. This area is characterized by the convergence of several major drainages, including Bennetts Bayou and the Mirey Fork, which feed into the larger river systems.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the township, such as Youngblood Cem and Joyes Cem. The map reveals a complex network of springs, including the distinctive Rattlesnake Spring and Spark Spring, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and early roads. The southern reaches are defined by the Bennetts River and numerous named hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Taylor Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography of southern Missouri.
