2012 Map of Newburg

About this map

Little Piney Creek meets the Gasconade River at a geographical crossroads where the towns of Arlington and Jerome grew along the riverbanks. This 2012 survey illustrates the deep-cut hollows and ridges characteristic of this Missouri landscape, featuring named terrain like Devils Backbone and Brick House Hollow. The map documents a cluster of settlements including Newburg, Doolittle, and Stony Dell, reflecting a historical transition from river-dependent crossings like Whitehouse Ford to the modern interstate corridor. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds, such as Ramsey Cemetery, Pillman Cemetery, and Kitchell Cemetery, situated among the winding forest roads and creek valleys. The detailed road network, from White House Ferry Rd to the streets of Newburg Heights, shows the enduring settlement patterns of Phelps County.
