About this map

The Bourbeuse River and Dry Fork meander through this landscape between Rolla and Saint James, where early 21st-century rural Missouri life is shaped by long-standing family landmarks and a network of county roads. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds including Old Dean Cemetery, Dewing Cemetery, and Elliot Cemetery, often located near prominent terrain features like Panther Bluff or Schuman Ridge.

The presence of the BNSF Railway running parallel to the primary highway corridor highlights the region's enduring role in transport and industry, connecting the community of Dillon to the surrounding Phelps County region. From the waters of Little Prairie Lake to the quiet corner of the Laney Smith Memorial Garden, the map documents a transition from established town sites to the rolling hills and creeks like Little Dry Fork and Lanes Fork that define the local geography.
