About this map

Fair Grove serves as the primary hub in this southwest Missouri landscape, situated where the Pomme de Terre River and Little Pomme de Terre River begin their winding courses northward. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Goodnight Knob, Lucas Knob, and Henley Knob, which rise above the agricultural fields and rural road networks. Historically significant nodes like Rock Prairie, Tin Town, and Goodnight reflect the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the Ozarks fringe, often centered around family farms and local crossroads.

Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, such as New Life Cem in the north and Glover Cem near the center of the survey. The mapping also details the transition from Polk and Dallas Counties into Greene County, showing how the rural landscape integrates with transportation corridors like State Hwy CC and State Hwy Z that connect these small communities.
