2015 Map of Licking

About this map

The town of Licking serves as the primary hub in this Missouri landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply incised by a network of creeks and named hollows. In the southern portion of the map, small rural settlements like Oscar and Mahan dot the countryside, connected by established routes such as Co Road V and Kirkman Rd. The geography is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern where Bean Cr and Boone Cr flow through the northern reaches, while the south is characterized by distinctive topography like Dead Horse Hollow and Maxton Hollow. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the Mahan Cemetery and Presser Cemetery, which sit alongside springs like Ajee Spring and Mounty Spring. This 2015 survey illustrates how the rugged landscape of Texas County and Dent County continues to shape the placement of homesteads and winding county roads.
