2021 Map of Edwards

About this map

Hastain and Edwards anchor this portion of Benton County, where the Ozark Plateau descends toward the irregular northern shoreline of the Lake of the Ozarks. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, with numerous hollows and ridges radiating from the Deer Creek Arm and Duroc Bay. Named terrain features such as Short School Hollow and Sawmill Hollow indicate a history of local industry and rural education. The presence of Hastain Cem and Belleview Cem provides essential points of reference for genealogists researching family ties in this part of Missouri. Watercourses like Little Deer Cr and Spring Br carve through the topography, illustrating the natural geography that has shaped local settlement and road placement for generations.
