About this map

Jerico Springs anchors the northeast corner of this Southwest Missouri landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the wooded drainages of the Horse Creek basin. This 2011 survey documents a predominantly agricultural region defined by a grid of county roads and a network of small waterways including Patton Branch, Lacey Branch, and Bear Creek. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking several distinct burial grounds such as Round Prairie Cemetery and German Cemetery, which reflect the area's early settlement patterns and community centers.

Smaller localities like Newport and Sylvania are situated along the southern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by routes like Co RD-120. The terrain is punctuated by small water bodies and man-made features like Don Henley Lake, illustrating the modern management of these rural lands. The northeast corner is particularly notable for its concentration of named features around the springs, including Jordan Creek and Anna-Edna Cemetery, indicating a long-standing focal point for local habitation.
