About this map

Moundville serves as a central point of reference in this southwestern Missouri landscape, where the prairie begins to transition toward the Ozark foothills. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Beckman Cemetery, Welborn Cemetery, and Jewel Cemetery, which are vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Vernon County. The Marmaton River and its various tributaries, such as Little Dry Wood Creek and Hackberry Branch, create a complex drainage pattern that has historically influenced agricultural boundaries and road placements like Old 54 Hwy.

Significant conservation and history-minded landmarks are represented by the Flight Lake Natural Historic Area, situated near the winding course of the Marmaton. The small settlement of Ellis and the western edge of Nevada show the distribution of population centers linked by a network of legacy routes, including Old 71 Hwy and Old 43 Hwy, which trace the path of earlier regional transit corridors.
