About this map

Licking stands at the southern edge of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the headwaters of several significant creek systems originate. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Little Piney Cr and Sherrill Cr, which carve through the high ground of Texas, Dent, and Phelps Counties. Smaller settlements like Kimble, Maples, and Coulstone are connected by a network of county roads, such as Co RD CC and State Hwy CC, reflecting the rural development of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites across the landscape, including Concord Cem, Rock Springs Cem, and Hutchison Cem. These family and community landmarks, along with Licking Cem near the town center, provide vital spatial context for the area's ancestral residents. The map also traces the winding courses of Pigeon Cr and Barnitz Prong, illustrating how the local topography has historically shaped movement and settlement.
