About this map

Carrol Junction sits at the northern edge of this Laclede County landscape, where the historic corridor of Rte 66 and Old RTE 66 cuts across the Ozark plateau. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named hollows, such as Wildcat Hollow and Pig Pen Hollow, which feed into larger water bodies like Dry Auglaize Cr and the S Fork Crooked Cr. These valleys reveal a pattern of rural Missouri life, with isolated burial grounds like Lillard Cem and Jarrell Cem positioned near watercourses.

The settlement of Oakland serves as a local hub south of Singleton Ridge, surrounded by a mix of wooded draws and clearings. Modern recreation and natural features are evident in the presence of Hidden Valley Lake and Rock Spring, while the eastern reaches of Lebanon are visible at the western margin. This survey provides a precise record of the land's transition from the highway corridors into the dissected hills of the central Missouri Ozarks.
