About this map

Maramec Spring and its surrounding Ozark highlands define this landscape, where the cold waters of one of the state's largest springs emerge near the Meramec River. The town of St. James serves as a primary hub in the northwest corner, anchored by the Immaculate Conception (Catholic) church and the Saint James Cem Corporation. The area's complex geology is evidenced by several natural landmarks, including the St James Natural Bridge and Pinnacles Bluff Arch along Dry Fork.

Genealogists can trace family heritage through a dense network of rural burial grounds such as Old Saint James Cem, Hawkins Cem, and McDole Cem. These sites, along with names like Asher Hollow and Normans Hollow, speak to the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Phelps and Crawford counties. Transportation and commerce are represented by Green Airfield and the winding course of State Hwy KK, which traverses the eastern plateaus.
