About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates the central and southern reaches of this landscape, where the wooded terrain meets the open expanses of the Grand Prairie. This transition between forest and prairie is marked by the headwaters of several drainages, including Auxvasse Creek, Stinson Creek, and the Middle River. Settlement patterns are defined by small crossroads like Hereford, Eastville, and Millersburg, each serving as anchors for rural life centered around local institutions. Cultural history is preserved in several country churches and burial grounds, such as Rising Sun Ch and the New Richland Ch Cem. To the west, the Little Dixie Lake State Wildlife Management Area and its associated Fish Hatchery highlight the area's focus on conservation, while the presence of Strip Mines in the southwest corner points to a history of resource extraction alongside the agricultural landscape.
