About this map

The unincorporated community of Lone Elm and the settlement of Pisgah anchor this 2015 study of rural Cooper County, Missouri. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Clark Fork and its tributaries, including the W Br Clark Fork, Panther Br, and Draffen Br. These waterways carve through the terrain, creating the ridges where many of the area’s local roads and family cemeteries are situated.

Genealogists and local historians can find several namesake burial grounds, such as the New Salem Cemetery, McCullough Cemetery, Toler Cemetery, and Ellis Cemetery. The road network reflects long-standing property divisions and family ties, with routes like Pleasant Hill Rd, Lone Elm Rd, and Pisgah Rd connecting the scattered farmsteads. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Panther Cr and Pisgah Cr, highlighting the importance of these small stream valleys to the local topography and historical settlement patterns.
