About this map

Marquand serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated near the intersection of the Upper Castor River and Whitener Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by the eastern reaches of the Saint Francois Mountains, where the Mark Twain National Forest preserves much of the timbered uplands. The distribution of small family burial grounds, such as Stephens Cem and Younts Cem, indicates a deep-rooted pattern of rural settlement.

Transport routes like State Hwy F and State Hwy M follow the contours of the land, connecting the valley floor to the higher elevations of Cottoner Mtn. The naming of local drainages and depressions, including Dog Trot Hollow and Joseph Hollow, reflects the cultural history and folk nomenclature of the Missouri Ozarks. Along the northern border, Newman Lake and Leaky Lake sit amidst a network of springs and branches that feed the regional watershed.
