About this map

The Pomme de Terre River and its intricate drainage system define this portion of Hickory County, as the Harry S Truman Reservoir fills the valley floors. The map details the transition from high ground to the winding fingers of the reservoir, highlighting numerous family and community landmarks that survived the change in the landscape. Several small settlements, including Fristoe, Avery, and White Cloud, serve as anchors for a network of county roads such as Co RD-84 and SW 1770 BC.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from Joplin Cemetery in the north to Hart Cemetery and Dickirson Cemetery further south. Distinctive geological and terrain features like Buzzard Cave Bluff and various hollows, including Mining Hollow and Bone Hollow, provide a window into the historical land use and natural character of the region during this period of the early twenty-first century.
