About this map

The Upper Castor River meanders through the landscape of southeast Missouri, anchoring a region defined by scattered rural settlements and intricate waterway systems. Small communities like Gipsy and Buchanan serve as focal points along the network of county roads, while smaller locales such as Choat represent the quiet residential character of the area in the early twenty-first century. The terrain is marked by distinctive drainages and geographic markers including Hurricane Hollow, Lime Kiln Hollow, and Big Branch Hollow.

Genealogists can find significant local-history value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Scott Cemetery, Clubb Cemetery, Maddox Cemetery, and Cowan Cemetery. To the southwest, a cluster of small impoundments is visible, including the Lake of the Pines Dam, Turners Dream Lake Dam, and Lake Janna Dam, illustrating the local management of water resources along the tributaries of Lick Log Creek.
