2012 Map of Drew

About this map

Gasconade River and its winding tributary, the Osage Fork Gasconade River, define the rural landscape of Missouri-Laclede County in this early 21st-century survey. The terrain is marked by numerous hollows, including Big Sleepy Hollow and Burnt Cabin Hollow, which suggest a long history of local naming conventions tied to the timbered ridges and valleys. Small settlements like Drew, Jacksonville, and Falcon are connected by a network of backroads such as Bobcat RD and Vintage RD, while the area's agricultural and social foundations are evidenced by family-named landmarks like Heard Cemetery, Hamilton Cemetery, and Bohanon Cemetery. Further downstream, Clark Ford and the Lambeth Bridge provide essential crossings over the complex waterway system, which is also punctuated by natural features like Blue Spring and Mayfield Spring, as well as the man-made Morris Lake Dam.
