About this map

The Fourche River defines the central corridor of this Randolph County landscape, winding south from the Missouri border through a terrain of ridges and hollows. The settlement of Maynard serves as a local hub near Lemmons Creek, while smaller communities like Middlebrook and Brakebill anchor the upland areas. The map reveals a rural network of social and family foundations, including Siloam Ch and Columbia Jarrett Ch, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds such as Barnett Cem and Harper Cem.

Transport and utility infrastructure are visible through the primary roads and a prominent Pipeline corridor crossing the river valley. The topography is marked by distinct natural features like Warm Springs Ridge and Tennessee Ridge, while smaller drainages like Albritten Creek and Waldron Creek feed into the Fourche. This 1968 survey details a stable agricultural landscape where property lines are often defined by the natural drainage of the Ozark foothills.
