About this map

Featherston and Quinton anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the foothills of the Sans Bois Mountains begin to rise. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Sans Bois Cr, Featherston Cr, and Heifer Cr, which carve through the elevations south of the township lines. Local history and genealogy interest is centered around the Featherston Cem, located just south of the settlement itself.

The map reveals a transition from the structured grid of rural section roads like e1310 RD to the more winding, elevation-dependent routes such as Ironpost Mountain RD and Ford MTN RD. Further south, the map follows the ridgelines toward Shoe Mtn and the crossing of the Pittsburg Co Latimer Co boundary. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, showing how modern county roads like JR Glenn RD and Cable RD continue to navigate the historic drainages of Ash Cr and Jones Cr.
