About this map

The rolling Ozark landscape on the border of Greene and Lawrence counties is bisected by the iconic alignment of highway 44 66 at the end of the 1960s. The village of Halltown serves as a focal point near the western edge, surrounded by family-named landmarks that speak to the area's pioneer genealogy. Small rural communities like Plano are connected by a network of drainage ways including the Sac River, Pickerel Creek, and Turnback Creek.

Social and spiritual life in these townships is rooted in sites like the Methodist Conference Grounds, Yeakley Chapel, and Prospect Ch. Local aviation is represented by the Downing Farm Landing Field, while the presence of several Quarries and a cross-country Pipeline indicate the region's industrial utility. Numerous family burial grounds, including Batson Cem, Rock Prairie Cem, and Garoutte Cem, provide essential data points for local researchers tracing 19th and 20th-century settlement patterns.
