About this map

Niangua River and Little Niangua River carve through the Missouri landscape in this 2015 study, defining a region where small settlements and extractive industries once shaped the land. The hamlet of Leadmine serves as a central point of interest, its name hinting at the area's mineral history further evidenced by Smelter Hollow and Sawmill Hollow to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can find burial grounds like Kirk Cemetery and identified springs such as Webster Spring and King Spring. The terrain is marked by numerous named hollows and prominent bluffs along the river bends, including Berry Bluff, Webster Bluff, and Callison Bluff. This contemporary survey preserves the names of long-established places like Westfield and the Herrick Ford crossing, documenting how the modern road network, including Leadmine Rd and State Forest Rd, navigates the complex drainage patterns of Jakes Creek and Brush Creek.
