About this map

Moody and Lebo anchor this rural Howell County landscape, where the headwaters of the S Fork Spring River begin to take shape across the Ozark Plateau. The settlement at Moody is characterized by its proximity to Moody Spring and the drainage of Ray Br, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a series of named drainages and timbered ridges. To the east, the topography becomes more pronounced with features like Turkeypen Ridge and several hollows including Mansfield Hollow and Newberry Hollow that feed into W Fork Spring Cr.

Family history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Mount Zion Cem, McElmerry Cem, and Davis Cem. These sites, along with the numerous named springs such as Lapp Spring and Aunt Cindy Spring, reflect a long-standing reliance on the local hydrography and upland farmsteads. The network of county roads, such as Co RD 6410 and Co RD 8110, follows the natural contours between the Bennetts River and Elkhorn Br.
