2017 Map of Marcella

About this map

Saint James and Pleasant Grove anchor this portion of Stone County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by deep hollows and prominent ridges. The geography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Irons Mtn and Miller Mtn down into the reaches of Knights Cove and Lickin Hollow. Water resources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, with Chalybeate Springs and the nearby Chalybeate Spring Cr suggesting the area's geological character. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Kelly and Ford Cem near Davis Lake and the Dugan Cem further north. Small settlements like Marcella and Pine Hill are connected by a network of county roads such as Church Rd and Cajun Creek Rd, reflecting a dispersed rural community structure integrated with the local creek systems like Steam Mill Br and Massey Cr.
