About this map

Doss and Turtle serve as central points in this landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Meramec River. The topography is marked by significant karst features and springs, including Welch Sinks, Antioch Spring, and Peterball Spring. Local family history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds such as Halbrook Cemetery, McCarter Cemetery, and Miner Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the winding valleys.

A network of county roads connects small settlements like Fawn and Max across a terrain of named hollows and ridges. Waterways such as Dry Valley Creek, Gladden Creek, and Standing Rock Creek reveal the drainage patterns into the Meramec, while landmarks like Standing Rock and Ball Hill provide distinct navigational points. The map details a period where these remote Dent County communities maintained their rural character through established crossroads and small valley homesteads.
