About this map

Gaither Mtn and the surrounding Ozark Highlands in Boone County are defined by a complex network of coves and points that shaped local settlement patterns for generations. Small communities like Capps, Grubb Springs, and Gaither are positioned along the plateau and valley floors, connected by rural routes such as Peach Orchard Rd and Old Capps Rd S. The drainage systems of Terrapin Cr and W Fork Crooked Cr carve the landscape into distinct features like Fernsides Cove and Johnson Cove.

For genealogists and family historians, the area is notable for its numerous small burial grounds, including Coker Cem, Robinson Cem, and Wagley Cem. These sites, often located near former family homesteads or early settlement centers, provide a record of the community's early inhabitants. To the northeast, the outskirts of Harrison show a more modern street grid, illustrating the transition from the secluded terrain of Kennedy Mtn to the regional urban center.
