About this map

The Dixon settlement and the northern reaches of Fort Leonard Wood dominate this landscape in central Missouri. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Gasconade River and the Big Piney River, which converge near Boiling Spring. This area is characterized by karst topography, evident in features like Slaughter Sink and Conical Sink near the border of Pulaski County and Phelps County.

Smaller outposts such as Franks and Powellville sit along the primary road corridors, while the Mark Twain National Forest blankets the eastern and southern portions of the map. Local history is grounded in sites like Egan Cem and Goodall Cem, alongside distinct landforms such as Portuguese Point and Buckhead Hollow. The survey also documents the network of county roads that link rural homesteads to the regional center of Dixon.
