About this map

The town of Holly Grove serves as the focal point for this 1970s landscape, positioned along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Dial Creek, Walker Cypress Creek, and Boat Gunwale Slash. To the south, the environment shifts toward more significant water bodies like Maddox Bay and Upper Eagle Nest Lake, bordered by the prominent Bluff Cut.

Family and local history researchers will find a high density of rural landmarks across the agricultural fields. The map documents several community anchors, such as Mt Zion Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch, alongside numerous burial grounds including Travelers Rest Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Redmans Cem. The settlement at Lawrenceville remains a distinct point of interest in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the distributed nature of river-influenced development in this era.
