About this map

Dogwood and the nearby settlements of Depew and Tigris anchor this Ozark landscape at the boundary of Webster and Douglas Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Big Spring Hollow and the evocatively named Buck Hollow Brixey Hollow, which drain toward watercourses like Finley Creek and Beaver Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of family-linked landmarks, most notably the numerous small cemeteries scattered across the ridges and valleys. From the Cardwell Cemetery in the northwest to the Ellison Cemetery near Tigris, these sites, along with named points like Sarvis Point and Keyger Mountain, trace the historic footprint of rural Missouri communities. The map also detail the complex local road system, including Sarvis Point Road and Goss Cave Road, which follow the natural contours of the undulating plateau.
