About this map

The Meramec River winds through this Crawford County landscape, defining the local geography with its numerous crossings and associated settlements. In the northern reaches, the community of Thousand Oaks sits near the riverbanks, while historical river access is highlighted by several fords, including Scott Ford, Klein Ford, and Cedar Ford. The reliance on these water resources is further evidenced by a system of small reservoirs such as Lake Vera, Seidl Lake, and Holifield Lake, each secured by its own dam.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial grounds like Shepherd of the Hills Cemetery and Hibler Cemetery. The map also captures the local road network connecting rural pockets such as Keysville and Lead Branch Junction via routes like Indian Springs Road and Thurman Lake Road. Natural springs, including Richart Spring and Fishing Spring, dot the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Missouri Ozarks region.
