About this map

Climax Springs serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey, situated at the intersection of several county lines where Benton, Camden, and Hickory Counties meet. This Ozark landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Niangua River and its numerous tributaries, such as Storks Cr and Phillips Br. The map documents a rural environment characterized by deep hollows and high ridges, including Elkenberry Hollow and Canfield Ridge.

Local family history is preserved through named landmarks and burial grounds like Climax Springs Cem, Creach Cem, and Green Cem. Transportation in the area relies on a network of state highways and local routes like State Hwy NN and State Hwy DD, which navigate the complex topography. Notable local establishments and natural features, from the Miller Airport to the south-flowing Rainy Cr, illustrate the enduring patterns of settlement and land use in this part of Missouri.
