About this map

The Mark Twain National Forest dominates the northwestern terrain of this quadrangle, where the steep relief of Anderson Hollow gives way to a complex system of creeks and drainage basins. This modern 2021 survey reveals a landscape defined by significant water management and residential development surrounding Lake Perry and Parker Lake. These reservoirs, including Parker Lake Number 2 and the smaller Whitewood Lake, indicate the transition of the area from traditional rural Missouri Ozark timberland into a recreational and residential corridor.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Cedar Fork Community Cem and Whitewater Christian Cem essential for tracing the families who settled the valleys of Cedar Fork and Upper Whitewater Cr. The map also preserves the courses of numerous branches like Nations Cr and S Fork Saline Cr, which carved out the namesake hollows like Martin Hollow and Dutch Hollow long before the modern lake developments were established.
