About this map

Marshfield serves as the central hub of this Webster County landscape, where the residential grid meets a network of rural roads and watercourses. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Pomme de Terre River and Turnbo Creek, which cut through the Missouri countryside southwest of the city. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including Thomas Cemetery, Welch Cemetery, and Osborn Cemetery.

South of the main settlement, the land drops toward the James River, where traditional water crossings such as Bumgarden Ford and Lindstrew Ford are recorded near the community of Crown. The presence of these fords alongside modern infrastructure like the Biggs Lower Lake Dam illustrates the long-standing relationship between the local population and the area's river systems, maintaining a record of both early transport routes and contemporary water management.
