The western suburbs of Joplin and the Kansas Missouri state line define this 2017 landscape, where the urban grid of the city meets a series of deeply carved hollows and drainage basins. The northern portion of the map is dominated by names reflecting a transition from mining era history to modern residential development, including Chitwood, Leadville Hollow, and Lone Elm. These hollows, along with Opossum Hollow and Chitwood Hollow, feed into Turkey Creek, illustrating the complex topography that once supported regional lead and zinc production.
