2012 Map of Highlandville

About this map

Finley Creek and its many tributaries, including Hog Creek and Tory Creek, shape the settlement pattern of this Missouri landscape. The community of Highlandville sits at a major crossroads near the center of the sheet, while smaller hamlets like Riverdale, Jamesville, and Montague are distributed among the hollows and river bends. The area is dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, such as Glenn Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Lebow Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogy. The map reveals a transition in land use, where rugged terrain features like McCafferty Hollow and Craig Hollow meet a growing network of residential drives and local roads. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the settlements of Bengal, Green, and Mound Ridge illustrate the traditional rural spacing of the region along the waters of Woods Fork and Camp Creek.
