2020 Map of Marmaduke

About this map

Crowleys Ridge rises above the flat agricultural plains of Greene County, providing a distinct topographic break that has long influenced the placement of roads and homesteads in the region. The city of Marmaduke is positioned along the Union Pacific rail corridor, while the smaller communities of Lafe and Oak Grove Heights anchor the western portion of the quadrangle. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Harvey's Chapel Cem, Wright Cem, and Providence Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural landscape. A network of waterways including Hurricane Cr, Slavens Cr, and Henderson Cr drain the lowlands, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns necessary for local agriculture between the ridge and the river systems further east.
