About this map

Shoal Creek meanders through the southern half of this landscape, defining a region of steep hollows and residential development south of Joplin. The waterway is punctuated by the Grand Falls Dam and Grand Falls, where Redings Mill and Cliff Village overlook the river bluffs. This 2010 survey records the intricate network of neighborhoods and cemeteries that surround the urban core, including West Joplin, Chitwood, and Lone Elm.

To the north and west, the terrain is shaped by numerous named drainages such as Opossum Hollow, Leadville Hollow, and Tanyard Hollow. These features, alongside established communities like Central City and Belleville, illustrate the transition from Joplin's dense city grid to the more dispersed settlements of Cottonwood Springs and Belle Center. Researchers will find extensive road names and memorial sites like Jessee Osborne Memorial Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery clearly delineated.
