2017 Map of Fair Grove

About this map

Fair Grove serves as a local hub in this rural landscape, situated at the intersection of several regional routes in northern Greene County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pomme de Terre River and its tributaries, including the Little Pomme de Terre River and Little Wilson Cr. High points such as Goodnight Knob, Henley Knob, and Lucas Knob provide prominent landmarks overlooking the dispersed settlements. Small communities and historic locales like Tin Town, Rock Prairie, and Fruitland are scattered across the map, reflecting a classic Missouri Ozarks settlement pattern where families established roots near reliable water sources and along established ridge roads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites such as the Glover Cem, Mallard Cem, and the New Life Cem, while Marshall Field indicates the continued importance of regional aviation and land use.
