About this map

The town of Ellington serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Ozark Highlands, where the local economy and settlement patterns are dictated by a dense network of hollows and valleys. The landscape is defined by its drainage into Logan Cr, Doe Run Cr, and N Fork Webb Cr, which have carved out distinct named landmarks such as Dickson Valley and Pinedale Valley.

For genealogists and local historians, this map is a particularly dense record of small family and community burial grounds, including the Ellington Memorial Cem, Imboden Cem, and Upper Doe Run Cem. These sites, along with the small settlements of Ruble and Pine Valley, provide a clear picture of the dispersed rural communities that persisted in Reynolds County into the 21st century. The map also documents the modern road network, from State Hwy H to numerous county roads that follow the winding contours of the terrain.
