About this map

Grovespring serves as a central hub for this portion of Laclede County, situated near the confluence of local routes like Walker Rd and Ledge Rock Rd. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Steins Creek and Parks Creek, which carve out several named topographic features including Dinah Hollow, Rocky Hollow, and Buttrom Hollow. These valleys and ridges dictate the placement of the area's rural road network, with names like Smittle Cave Rd hinting at the subterranean geography of the Ozark plateau.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural crossroads and burial grounds that remain key to the community's identity. Small settlements such as Origanna, Smittle, and Durbin are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by a web of named tracks like Winkler Rd and Sappington Ln. For those tracing family roots, both the north and south Davis Cemetery locations and the Bramhall Cemetery offer precise points of reference for historic homesteads and family plots.
