About this map

The boundary between Webster, Wright, and Douglas counties converges in this Missouri landscape, where the Ozark plateau is deeply incised by numerous hollows and creek beds. The community of Cedar Gap serves as a local high point, situated near Cedar Gap Lake and the Cedar Gap Cem. To the east, nomenclature like Lead Hill and Smelter Hollow points toward a history of mineral exploration and extraction that shaped the local economy.

Further south, the map reveals a pattern of dispersed settlement centered around rural institutions. The area near Mount Zion is defined by its namesake Mount Zion church and Mount Zion Cem, along with the Huffman Cem. Transportation across this dissected terrain relies on a network of state routes like State Hwy B and State Hwy F, which follow the more stable ridges to connect family farmsteads and rural cemeteries like Rush Cem and Denney Cem.
