1992 Map of Lecoma

About this map

Schuman Ridge and the winding drainage of Dry Fork dominate this landscape in Phelps and Dent Counties. The area is defined by a rural network of small-scale agriculture and early industry, evidenced by the presence of Charcoal Ovens and several Quarries scattered throughout the hills. The community of Lecoma serves as a local hub, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with markers of early Ozark life, including Elk Prairie Sch and Spring Hill Sch. The subterranean geography is particularly notable here, with multiple named caverns like Castleman Cave, Skelton Cave, and McClure Cave cutting through the limestone. Along the Phelps and Dent County line, family-named sites such as Matlock Cem and Benton Cem provide significant points of interest for those tracing local genealogy and the distribution of mid-century homesteads.
