About this map

The Osage Fork Gasconade River and Gasconade River converge within this rural Laclede County landscape, defining a terrain marked by deep hollows and high ridges. Small crossroads communities and family settlements like Drew, Jacksonville, and Falcon anchor the local geography, connected by a network of state highways and county roads such as State Hwy B and State Hwy AD. The map reveals a dense distribution of local heritage sites, including the Heard Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Stewart Cem, which speak to the long-standing family roots in the area.

Large portions of the eastern and southern territory are protected within the Mark Twain National Forest. Water features are central to the landscape, from the Lambeth Bridge crossing to secluded spots like Blue Spring and Mayfield Spring. The numerous named drainages, such as Brookshire Hollow and Walker Hollow, illustrate the complex drainage system feeding into the rivers that have shaped this Missouri Ozarks region.
