2011 Map of Landis

About this map

Landis and the surrounding Ozark landscape are defined by a complex network of winding waterways and secluded hollows. The settlement pattern is largely dictated by the terrain, with small communities like Thola and Fairview connected by an intricate web of county roads that follow the ridges and creek beds. A significant number of family and community burial grounds, such as Treat Cemetery, Freeman Cemetery, and Passmore Cemetery, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists. The presence of the Economy Post Office near the southern edge of the map highlights the enduring local infrastructure in this rural area. Water features are central to the geography, from the broad Bear Creek and Long Creek to the Big Flat Lake Dam in the northeast. Notable elevations including Buzzard Roost Mountain and Round Mountain provide a vertical contrast to the deep incisions of Elm Hollow and Wildcat Hollow.
