2012 Map of High Gate

About this map

The Northern Ozark Border transition defines this landscape in Maries County, where the plateau gives way to the drainage systems of Dry Fork and Lanes Fork. The settlement of Lanes Prairie sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the map, while High Gate serves as a central landmark further east. This area is notably dense with family and community burial sites, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Documented locations include Walker Cemetery, Cook Cemetery, and Moreland Cemetery in the north, while Bowles Chapel Cemetery and Hart Cemetery are situated to the south. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the branching of Upper Peavine Creek and Lower Peavine Creek, which carve through the terrain alongside named reservoirs such as Number 70 Lake and Whippoorwill Hill Farm Lake.
