About this map

Jerico Springs serves as the primary focal point of this southwestern Missouri landscape, situated at the junction of Barton and Cedar counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Horse Creek, Chaney Br, and Maybee Br, which carve through the undulating countryside. To the south, the small settlements of Newport and Sylvania anchor the rural road system, while several family and community burial grounds, such as Round Prairie Cem and German Cem, provide significant markers for genealogical research.

The map reveals a transition from the structured grid of county roads to the winding paths dictated by the local hydrology, notably around Don Henley Lake. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the continued rural character of the area, where landmarks like Bethlehem Cem and Maple Grove Cem remain as enduring points of interest for local historians tracing the development of these multi-county borderlands.
