About this map

The Gasconade River winds through this section of Wright County, carving a landscape defined by deep hollows and unique geological formations. The Needles Eye Natural Arch stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the river valley, while the small settlement of Fuson anchors the western portion of the quadrangle. This area was historically shaped by its water resources, as evidenced by the locations of Grimes Mill and Latham Mill, both situated near the banks of the river and its tributaries like Crooked Cr.

Transport through the area is facilitated by a network of state routes including State Hwy E and State Hwy Z, which follow the higher ground between drainage basins such as Coon Cr and Whetstone Cr. The map preserves numerous family-named landmarks in its terrain, including Hillhouse Hollow, Greene Hollow, and Dean Hollow, providing valuable geographic context for those researching the rural legacy of the Missouri Ozarks.
