About this map

The Mark Twain National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this Dent County region, where the upper reaches of the Meramec River wind through the Ozark terrain. Smaller settlements like Doss, Turtle, and Max are connected by a network of state highways and county roads that follow the ridges and valleys. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named burial sites across the township, including Miner Cem, McCarter Cem, and Halbrook Cem, often located near crossroads or historic homesteads.

Distinctive geological and water features define the local geography, from the Welch Sinks in the northwest to the prominent Standing Rock along Standing Rock Cr. The map captures a transition from managed forest lands to agricultural pockets in the hollows, such as Lynch Valley and Orchard Mill Hollow. Springs like Antioch Spring and Ferrill Spring highlight the karst topography characteristic of this part of Missouri, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Wofford Br and Carty Br.
