About this map

The Gasconade River winds through the southern and eastern portions of this landscape, meeting its tributary, the Big Piney River, at a point marked by Piney End Resort. The area is defined by its karst topography, containing notable features such as Slaughter Sink, Conical Sink, and Mud Cave Hollow. The town of Dixon serves as the primary settlement in the northwest, while smaller communities and recreational hubs like Franks, Powellville, and Mazzaville Resort dot the riverbanks and hillsides.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like Egan Cemetery and family-named terrain features such as Sheppard Ridge and Bryant Bluff. The map also identifies unique hydrological features like Boiling Spring near the river bend. This survey captures a mix of established residential areas and river-centric tourism, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to its waterways and distinctive geological formations.
