About this map

The Gasconade River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving deep hollows and high ridges across the border of Maries and Phelps counties. This region is characterized by significant geological landmarks, most notably the Clifty Creek Natural Bridge and the prominent Bell Bluff overlooking the river valley. The topography is a complex network of drainage systems like Little Clifty Cr and Sweetwater Cr, which feed into the main river channel near Nagogami Lodge.

Rural life is anchored by small settlements like Hayden and Stickney, connected by a web of county roads and state highways. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites, such as the Granny Baker Graveyard and Kenner Cem, many of which are tucked into the narrow valleys or perched on ridges like Cave Ridge. The transition from the high ground at Carr Ridge down to the river crossing at Gaines Ford Br illustrates the historical reliance on these specific passage points through the Ozark terrain.
