About this map

Ongo and the small settlement of Keltner define this corner of the Ozarks, located along the border of Christian and Douglas Counties. Much of the southern and central terrain is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest, where a network of ridgelines and hollows dictates the local movement of water and travelers. Waterways like Swan Cr and Cedar Cr weave through the landscape, flanked by prominent features such as Harmon Ridge and Marshfield Ridge.

For family historians, this survey provides the precise locations of several local burial grounds, including Hall Cemetery, Harvill Cemetery, Gray Cemetery, and Maggard Cemetery. The map documents a rural transition where traditional place names like Nance Hollow and Tater Hill persist alongside modern forest service routes and county roads. The small community of Old Merritt sits in the southeast, marking a quiet point of interest near the headwaters of Boulder Fork.
