About this map

The Gasconade River and its tributary, the Woods Fork Gasconade River, carve through the Ozark plateau in this section of Wright County. The settlement of Hartville sits at the northern edge of the sheet, anchored by Casado Lake and a network of county roads that follow the high ridges. This landscape is defined by its deep drainage patterns, with named hollows such as Alsop Hollow and Possum Hollow providing relief to the timbered upland terrain.

Family and community history is etched across the map in the form of numerous small burial grounds, including Pea Ridge Cem, Matlock Cem, and Boatright Cem. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Mansfield Municipal Airport in the southwest corner. The prevalence of ridge-top roads like Pea Ridge Rd and Ridgeway Dr illustrates a classic Ozark transportation pattern, where routes were established to avoid the steep grades and seasonal flooding of the many creek bottoms like Wolf Cr and Baker Cr.
