2011 Map of Long Lane

About this map

Wall Street and Long Lane anchor this rural Dallas County landscape, where the Niangua River winds through the western reaches. The settlement pattern is defined by small, dispersed communities like Earnestville, Handley, and Shady Grove, connected by an intricate web of county roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Hill Cemetery and Pisgah Cemetery in the north, and Bethel Cemetery and Harris Cemetery further south. The topography is marked by the winding courses of Dousinbury Creek and Jones Creek, which drain the various hollows and ridges. This 2011 survey also records infrastructure such as the Thurman Lake Dam, showing a terrain where agricultural land meets the wooded valleys of Phillips Hollow and Patterson Branch.
