2021 Map of Dongola

About this map

The Castor River Diversion Channel cuts a sharp line across this Bollinger County landscape, representing a significant engineering modification of the local hydrology. This 2021 study shows the transition from the upland ridges of Sylvan Ridge and Null Hill in the north to the low-lying wetlands of Dark Cypress Swamp and the Goose Pond Hills in the south. These southern reaches are dominated by drainage features like Cane Cr, while the northern hills are home to scattered settlements such as Dongola and Glennon. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Saint Anthony Catholic Cem near Glennon and the remote Mansker Cem. The map documents a predominantly rural network of county roads, such as Co RD 418, connecting family-named landmarks and small communities like Schlatitz and Drum before the terrain drops toward the Stoddard County line.
