About this map

Old Woollam and New Woollam anchor this rural landscape in Gasconade County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and creek drainage systems. The northern boundary is marked by the Gasconade River, featuring landmarks such as Pin Oak Bluff and Kings Lookout. A significant concentration of family and community cemeteries, including Atkins Cemetery, Laubert Cemetery, and Jenkins Cemetery, suggests a long-settled agricultural heritage.

Waterways like Third Creek, Second Creek, and Mickey Branch carve through the land, with Suelthaus Ford providing a historically significant crossing point. Elevated features such as Goerlisch Ridge, Pilot Knobs, and Cave Hill dominate the topography. The road network, including the historic Kings Hwy and Old Woolam Rd, reflects the area's development from early river-and-ridge travel patterns into the modern era.
