2020 Map of Marcella

About this map

Saint James and Pleasant Grove anchor the landscape of this Stone County region, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges characteristic of the Ozark foothills. Historically significant sites such as Dugan Cem and the Kelly and Ford Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing local family lineages. The area is heavily marked by its water sources, including the mineral-rich waters of Chalybeate Springs and the drainage of Chalybeate Spring Cr, which flows through the rugged topography towards Marcella. Small settlements and scattered cemeteries are connected by rural routes like Mountain View Rd and E Main St, revealing a late-20th-century settlement pattern that still honors original land claims and topographical boundaries. High points like Irons Mtn and Tuttle Ridge offer a clear view of how the valley communities, such as those in Knights Cove, follow the winding path of Mill Cr.
