1960 Map of Climax Springs

About this map

Climax Springs serves as the focal point of this Ozark upland landscape, situated at the intersection of Benton, Camden, and Hickory counties. This 1960 field-checked survey illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage systems, where the Little Niangua River winds through the southern reaches, fed by numerous tributaries including Starks Creek, Macks Creek, and Phillips Branch. The map records a dense network of local landmarks vital for genealogical research, such as Wiseman Ch, Harmony Ch, and several family-named burial sites like Elkenberry Cem and Creach Cem. High ground is marked by features like Canfield Ridge and the Climax Springs Lookout Tower, reflecting a rural Missouri community organized around its ridges, spring-fed hollows, and small country churches.
