About this map

The community of Oakland sits south of the various forks and branches that define this section of Laclede County. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a landscape marked by deeply incised drainages such as Pig Pen Hollow and Morgan Hollow, which lead toward Rock Spring and the surrounding valley floors. The northeastern edge of Lebanon enters the frame from the west, showing the expansion of the city's road network through the transition from residential streets to the rural routes that crisscross Singleton Ridge.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several small family or community burial grounds, including Lillard Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle and Jarrell Cemetery on the eastern boundary. The presence of Carrol Junction in the northwest and water features like Wilderness Lake and Hidden Valley Lake suggest a mix of agriculture and recreational land use typical of the Ozark plateau during this period.
