About this map

The Gasconade River meanders deeply through this portion of Wright County, defining a landscape of hollows and tributary branches in the late 1980s. Local history is anchored by the small settlement of Fuson and the presence of historic water-powered industry sites like Grimes Mill and Latham Mill, which sit along the river and its feeders. Several unmarked Cem locations suggest family burial plots common in the rural Ozark highlands. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Brush Creek, Elk Creek, and Indian Creek, while the Buzzard Bluff State Access provides a dedicated point of contact with the river. The map also records numerous local named hollows such as Wildcat Hollow, Garner Hollow, and Young Hollow, which reveal the traditional naming conventions of the region's early residents and the intricate drainage network of the Hart and Wood townships.
