1982 Map of Keltner

About this map

Swan Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sugar Camp Creek and Buck Branch, carve through this section of the Ozarks within the Mark Twain National Forest. The map captures a landscape of ridges and hollows, including Marshfield Ridge and Lead Hill, where small communities like Keltner and Ongo are situated near vital water sources. The area is dotted with numerous family and community landmarks, such as Union Hill Ch and Mt Olive Ch, alongside several cemeteries including Harvill Cem, Hall Cem, and Gray Cem. The distribution of these features across the Christian and Douglas County boundary illustrates the rural settlement patterns typical of this Missouri region, where geographic features like Harmon Hollow and Board Hollow defined the limits of local movement and community life.
