About this map

The Gasconade River winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Maries and Phelps Counties, creating a deeply dissected terrain characterized by numerous hollows and springs. One of the most prominent natural landmarks is the Clifty Creek Natural Bridge near Clifty Spring, a geological feature that highlights the region's karst topography. Small rural settlements like Hayden and Stickney are connected by a network of county roads, while the eponymous Nagogami Lodge sits near the river's edge.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Fulkerson Cemetery, Ramsey Cemetery, and the evocatively named Granny Baker Graveyard. The map details many named natural features such as Duerson Slide, Thox Rock, and Bell Bluff, illustrating the variety of landforms along the river corridor. Several freshwater sources like McMinn Spring and Gaines Ford Spring feed into the river's tributaries, supporting the remote homesteads and farms scattered across the ridges and valleys.
