1982 Map of Eldridge West

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Niangua River carves a winding path through the Ozarks of Dallas and Laclede counties, defining a landscape of high bluffs and deep hollows. This early 1980s survey illustrates a region where family history and land use are etched into the terrain, from the Turner Cem on the western heights to the Ballard Cem in the central valleys. Small communities like Eldridge and Prosperine serve as anchor points for a rural road network that navigates around named features like Indian Leap Bluff and Guthrie Bluff. The abundance of named springs, such as Blue Spring and Barclay Spring, alongside protected lands like Lead Mine State Forest, indicates a geography deeply tied to the river's hydrology and timber resources. Local genealogists will find several rural burial grounds, including the Keith Cem near Brush Cr, documenting the era's scattered homesteading patterns.
