About this map

Cedar Gap sits at a geographic and administrative crossroads where Webster, Wright, and Douglas counties converge. This Ozark plateau landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Smelter Hollow, Panther Hollow, and Brixey Hollow, which channel local drainage into the headwaters of Finley Creek and Bryant Creek. Small rural settlements and family-named landmarks like Granada, Zenda, and Lead Hill are scattered throughout the hills, reflecting a pattern of upland agricultural and homesteading history.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through several well-documented burial grounds, such as Rush Cemetery, Denney Cemetery, and the Mount Zion Cemetery near the southern boundary. Infrastructure like Ozark Trail Dr and the winding Cedar Gap Road underscore the area's transition from early pioneer trails to modern local thoroughfares, while features like Hershell Letsinger Lake provide a localized focus for water resources amidst the deep-cut terrain.
