About this map

Norwood and Macomb anchor this landscape along the border of Wright and Douglas counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and numerous rural burial grounds, including the Shiloh Cem, Mount Harmon Cem, and Ryan Cem. These sites, often positioned on high ground or near creek drainages, suggest a long-established pattern of dispersed family farms and community clusters typical of the Missouri Ozarks.

Drainage systems like Absher Prong, Fox Cr, and the S Fork Dry Cr carve through the terrain, creating distinct landforms such as Mary Gray Hill and Tick Ridge. The presence of many small, named cemeteries like Stark Cem and Rutherford Cem provides significant genealogical markers for those tracing family history in this corner of Missouri. The map serves as a clear record of local infrastructure and topographical features from Samson Hollow to the headwaters of Clever Cr.
