About this map

The Gasconade River winds through the heart of this Wright County landscape, carving a deep valley through a network of family-named hollows and creek drainages. Located northwest of Mountain Grove, the small settlement of Fuson sits near the headwaters of Crooked Cr, while the river downstream supports historically significant industrial sites. Grimes Mill and Latham Mill are positioned along the river's path, indicating the importance of water power to the local economy in this rural pocket of the Ozarks.

Dense topographic details reveal the complex drainage patterns of tributaries like Whetstone Cr, Coon Cr, and Brush Cr. A notable geological landmark, the Needles Eye Natural Arch, is located just north of a sharp bend in the river. Numerous named hollows, including Wildcat Hollow, Greene Hollow, and Garner Hollow, define the secondary ridges, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography as it was documented in the early 21st century.
