About this map

The Current River carves a winding path south from Doniphan, defining the geography of this Missouri region with its intricate network of tributaries and riverfront settlements. Small communities and seasonal sites like Lede, Pratt, and Loreys Cabins are dispersed across the landscape, connected by a grid of county roads such as Co Road A-4 and Co Road E-2. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Gartman Cemetery, Mizell Cemetery, and Dizman Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Ripley County.

Waterways like Wolf Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Dudley Creek feed into the main river channel, creating a complex drainage system around landmarks like Big Island and Gartman Rock. Near the southern portion of the sheet, Pope Chapel Cemetery and Cedar Lodge sit among the meandering bends of the river, reflecting the local reliance on the waterway for both settlement and recreation. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Missouri interior during the early 21st century.
