About this map

The Missouri Ozark landscape of Gasconade Co is defined by the winding drainages of Third Creek and Second Creek in this 1980 survey. The transition between Old Woollam and New Woollam highlights the shifting centers of local life, while the presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Atkins Cem, Laubert Cem, and Drusch Cem, provides a clear record of 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns.

Extensive industrial activity is visible through a high concentration of Claypit and Claypits scattered across Boulware Ridge and Goerlisch Ridge, revealing the importance of refractory clay mining to the local economy. Geological features like Cave Hill Cave and river crossings such as Suelthaus Ford offer specific points of interest for those tracing old rural routes and natural landmarks within the Third Creek valley.
