About this map

The Gasconade River winds through this rural landscape in Wright County, where local life centered around a network of country schools and churches during the mid-twentieth century. Settlement patterns are defined by small family and community landmarks such as Pea Ridge Sch and High Point Sch, alongside several faith-based centers like Mission Temple and Wolf Creek Ch.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the townships of Gasconade, Hart, and Pleasant Valley. These include the Binkley Cem, Berry Cem, and the Oetting Cem (Abandoned), the latter of which sits near the similarly designated Oetting Sch (Abandoned). The terrain is deeply incised by numerous hollows, including Alsop Hollow and Possum Hollow, which feed into the larger river system. To the southwest, the Mansfield Muni Airport marks the edge of more modern infrastructure near the regional hub.
