About this map

Lecoma sits near the southwestern corner of this Ozark landscape, where the plateau begins to break into the complex drainage systems of the Little Dry Fork and Dry Fork. The area is characterized by high ridges like Schuman Ridge and deep hollows, notably Normans Hollow, which have dictated the placement of rural roads and homesteads for generations. The boundary between Phelps and Dent counties bisects the sheet, separating the community of Lake Spring from its northern neighbors.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Elk Prairie Cemetery, Matlock Cemetery, and Coppedge Cemetery. The transition from agricultural use to modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Harrison Private Airport and several small impoundments such as Fabick Lake and Highway Lake, which sit alongside established watercourses like Ragan Br and Hyer Br.
