2015 Map of High Gate

About this map

Lanes Prairie and the community of High Gate anchor this 2015 survey of rural Maries County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek branches and family burial grounds. The mapping captures the transition between the Gasconade and Phelps County lines, highlighting a terrain carved by the Upper Peavine Cr and Lanes Fork. Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community landmarks, including the Walker Cemetery, Cook Cemetery, Grovedale Cemetery, and Moreland Cemetery. These sites, along with Bowles Chapel Cemetery and Hickory Grove Cemetery, reflect a deep-rooted pattern of settlement along the local ridges and draws. Agricultural and water features like Whippoorwill Hill Farm Lake and Number 70 Lake dot the countryside, connected by a network of county roads such as CR-450 and CR-414 that follow the natural topography of the Ozark foothills.
