About this map

The boundary between Drew and Ashley counties defines the southern portion of this landscape, where small rural settlements like Ladelle and Lacey serve as local hubs. This territory is heavily dissected by the winding tributaries of the Panther Creek system, including the N Fork Panther Cr and S Fork Panther Cr. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries, many of which carry distinct local names.

Genealogists can find several historically significant burial sites, such as the Lone Sassafras Cem and Prairie Grove Cem, often located near the intersections of local routes like Co Rd 1816. Other small communities like Youngstown, Scipio, and Valley Junction are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of county roads that navigate the subtle ridges between Jumper Cr and Brown Cr.
