About this map

Patterson serves as the central hub of this eastern Ozark landscape, where the southern reaches of the Saint Francois Mountains meet the valley of the Saint Francis River. This 2021 survey illustrates a region defined by its rugged topography and water resources, including numerous private and public impoundments like Mountain Lake, Sunrise Lake, and Frontier Lake. The intricate network of county roads, such as Co RD 324 and Wayne Co 332, connects scattered family settlements and several burial grounds, including English Cem, Sparks Cem, and Jones Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in Wayne County.

Outdoor recreation and conservation are prominent, with large tracts of the Mark Twain National Forest covering the southern sections. The map traces the winding Ozark Trail as it traverses Mudlick Mtn, highlighting the modern importance of the trail systems in this corner of Missouri. Along the eastern edge, Black Bridge crosses the river, marking a traditional transit point near the Little Hawaii Lake area.
