1982 Map of Macks Creek

About this map

The settlement of Macks Creek serves as the focal point for this region of the Ozarks during the early 1980s, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of steep drainages and hollows. The Niangua River winds through the southeastern corner, flanked by dramatic vertical features such as Pikes Peak Bluff and Sugarcamp Bluff. This survey captures the rural character of the area where Camden County and Dallas County meet, showing small community centers like Celt and religious landmarks like Mission Ridge Ch. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of several family-named burial sites, including the Wiley Gott Cem, Winters Cem, and Berry Cem. The map illustrates a traditional Missouri hill-country settlement pattern, with homesteads and churches positioned along the ridges above named valleys like Big Spring Hollow and Sugarcamp Hollow.
