1980 Map of Nagogami Lodge

About this map

The Gasconade River carves a winding path through the Ozark highlands of southern Maries County, defining the local geography with its dramatic loops and high bluffs. During this 1980 survey, the river corridor serves as a hub for both travel and recreation, featuring the namesake Nagogami Lodge and the Bell Chute Public Access point. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of hollows, including West Hollow and Montague Hollow, while smaller communities like Hayden and Stickney maintain their presence on the higher ground. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in remote burial grounds such as Fulkerson Cem, Davis Cem, and Ramsey Cem. The transition from river bottom to ridge is further marked by features like Gaines Ford Br and the Natural Bridge near Clifty Creek, showcasing the area's complex karst topography.
