About this map

Jonesburg and High Hill serve as the primary anchors for this region in the early 1970s, situated along the corridor established by the Norfolk and Western railroad. The landscape south of these settlements is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Pea Ridge and Kirby Ridge, where the topography dictated the placement of small clay extraction sites and scattered family cemeteries. The southern portion of the map highlights the preservation of the Missouri woodlands within the Daniel Boone Memorial State Forest.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the rural landscape, from the Bolton Cem near the rail line to the Scachse Cem and Wright Cem further south. Local industry is represented by numerous Claypits and a Quarry near Henley Hollow, while the agricultural character is maintained by landmarks like Oak Grove Ch and various named stream crossings, such as the Ford near Hog Pen Hollow.
