About this map

St. Robert and the unincorporated community of Devils Elbow serve as the primary focal points of this Pulaski County landscape, situated where the Big Piney River carves its way through the eastern reaches of the Ozarks. The river's dramatic meanders create distinctive landforms like Lost Hill and provide the setting for natural landmarks such as Shanghai Spring and Ousley Spring. To the southwest, the northern edge of Fort Leonard Wood appears, bordered by the varied terrain of Deckers Ridge.

Family history is preserved in numerous rural burying grounds, including Mayfield Cemetery, Thompson Cemetery, and Spaulding Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the Mark Twain National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Weeks Hollow and Tater Hollow, feeding into the larger watercourses of the Gasconade River and Spring Creek. This modern survey reflects the modern road network alongside these traditional Ozark settlements and federal lands.
