About this map

Duncan is a focal point of this rural Ozark landscape along the border of Webster and Wright counties. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Cantrell Cr, Hyde Cr, and Bowman Cr, which eventually lead toward the Woods Fork Gasconade River at the southeastern edge. This 2015 survey reveals a community structure tied closely to its high ridges and narrow hollows, such as Buttrom Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Petet Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery. The map documents a network of rural routes including Old Church Rd and Nation School Rd, names that hint at the locations of former community centers. These features, along with the Sixteenth Cemetery, provide a detailed record of the settlement pattern and land use in this part of Missouri.
