About this map

Licking stands at the northern edge of this Ozark landscape, where the town’s grid gives way to a network of rural roads and creek-cut valleys. The terrain is defined by its drainages, including the headwaters of Brushy Creek and the winding course of Boone Creek. Small rural communities like Oscar and Mahan serve as local anchors, connected by routes such as Creek Rd and Sackett Rd.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks in the Presser Cemetery and Mahan Cemetery, which rest among the hills. The map reveals a land of hollows and springs, featuring named topographical depressions like Mounty Spring Hollow and Maxton Hollow. Further south, the landscape is carved by North Ashley Creek and South Ashley Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the natural hydrology of Texas County.
