About this map

Delmar and Red Bank serve as the primary focal points of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the boundary between Carroll County and Boone County bisects a complex network of ridges and deep drainage basins. The area is defined by its dramatic verticality, from the high peak of Pilot Knob and the narrow ridge of Needle Eye Mtn to the intricately named depressions of Whooping Hollow and Winding Staircase Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Dog Branch Cem, Mc Million Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of these upland communities. Water remains a central feature of the topography, with Osage Creek and Terrapin Creek carving through the terrain, while smaller landmarks like Bee Bluff and Kosky Point offer specific navigational reference points within this heavily dissected plateau.
