About this map

The Osage Fork Gasconade River winds through this section of Laclede County, carving a landscape defined by numerous hollows and traditional water crossings. Small settlements like Abo and Drynob are connected by a network of rural roads such as Grindstone Rd and Timber Lane Dr. These communities are anchored by several family and local burial grounds, including Similin Cemetery, Brandon Cemetery, and Rippy Cemetery, which offer valuable geographic data for genealogists tracking local lineages.

Evidence of the river-based geography is clear at Harrill Ford and the Hull Ford Bridge, points that historically facilitated movement across the valley. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Mark Twain National Forest, where the terrain becomes more isolated. Other notable landmarks include the Matzie Airport and numerous named drainages like Millstone Hollow and Elam Hollow, which illustrate the deeply dissected topography of this Missouri Ozarks region.
