About this map

The settlement of Crocker serves as a central hub in this Pulaski County landscape, situated at a junction of roads and rail routes that navigate the undulating terrain of the Missouri Ozarks. To the southwest, the smaller community of Swedeborg is tucked near the Crumley Branch, while the Swede Lookout Tower stands as a prominent waypoint nearby. The rural character of the area is defined by its deep-rooted social infrastructure, including the Liberty School and ancestral resting places such as the Johnson Cemetery, Swede Cemetery, and Schlight Cemetery.

Water plays a defining role in the local geography, with the Gasconade River cutting across the southeastern corner. Numerous smaller waterways like Tavern Creek, Gunlock Creek, and Crews Branch weave through the hills, punctuated by man-made features such as Alexander Farms Lake and the Wooldridge Lake Dam. The presence of the Willhite Airport near Rapid Br highlights the integration of modern transportation within this traditional agricultural and wooded setting.
