About this map

Current River flows through the southwestern corner of this landscape, carving distinctive landmarks like Cedar Bluff, Pine Bluff, and Worley Rock. The terrain north of Doniphan is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Isaacs Creek, Simpson Creek, and Logan Creek, which drain the hollows and flats of the Ozark foothills. This area preserves a high density of small-scale family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the numerous burial grounds such as Oak Ridge Cemetery and Saint Benedicts Cemetery.

The settlement pattern reflects a rural history of small hubs, indicated by the Pleasant Grove Post Office and Fernhook Post Office. While modern features like the Doniphan Lookout Tower and a Landing Strip appear, the map primarily documents a landscape of scattered rural residences and named geographic points like Hill Top and Steeles. The proximity of the river to features like Schoolhouse Bay suggests a longstanding relationship between the local community and the waterway.
