About this map

Decaturville serves as a central landmark in this 2017 survey of the Missouri Ozarks, situated near the boundary where Camden and Laclede counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Homestead Hollow, Shop Mine Hollow, and Turkeypen Hollow, which drain into several branches of Dry Auglaize Cr. These narrow valleys and the ridge known as Devils Backbone illustrate the deeply dissected topography of the region, where roads often follow the winding high ground or creek beds.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Claiborne Cem, Wheeler Cem, and Stone Cem. While the area around Camdenton and the Camdenton Memorial-Lake Regional Airport shows more modern road development, the southern and eastern portions of the map retain a more rural character, centered on smaller settlements like Hugo and the winding course of the N Fork Linn Cr.
