About this map

The Niangua River and the Little Niangua River carve a complex landscape of bluffs and hollows through this portion of Dallas County. The settlement of Leadmine serves as a central point, situated near a network of roads like State Hwy T and Leadmine Rd. The river’s path is defined by prominent natural landmarks such as Berry Bluff, Webster Bluff, Callison Bluff, and Turner Bluff, which rise above the water at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Early transport and community life are evidenced by Herrick Ford and the Kirk Cem located along Lane Br.

Resource extraction and land use are reflected in numerous family-named hollows and sites like Sawmill Hollow, Smelter Hollow, and Miners Dr. The terrain is also marked by essential water sources including Webster Spring and King Spring. Numerous creeks like Jakes Cr and Brush Cr feed into the larger river systems, illustrating the dense drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement and agriculture for generations.
