About this map

The Bourbeuse River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving through a region defined by family-named cemeteries and rural roads that straddle the Gasconade and Crawford county line. The settlement of Oak Hill serves as a local hub, surrounded by dozens of small family burial grounds including Pinnell Cem, Aunt Pop Cem, and the Frederickson Family Cem. These sites, often located at the end of winding routes like Hog Trough Rd or Brandenburger Rd, provide essential data points for genealogical research in this part of Missouri.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, ranging from larger bodies like Hickory Lake and Stubblefield Lake to smaller reaches such as Pleasant Valley Cr and W Br Threemile Cr. The map details a transition from the river bottomlands to the uplands where Forester Lake and various tributary branches like Hamby Br and Gal Br shape the local drainage. This modern survey preserves the locations of numerous historic landmarks, including Oak Hill Cem and Hamilton Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Ozark foothills.
