About this map

Phillipsburg and Conway anchor the landscape along the central transit corridor of Laclede County. The map details the legacy of overland travel, featuring the path of Historic Route 66 as it parallels modern infrastructure. This region of the Ozark Plateau is defined by its drainages, including Dousinbury Cr and Spring Hollow Cr, which carve through the terrain to create distinctive features like Dogwood Hollow.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Rocky Knob Cemetery, Shanks Cemetery, and Lonesome Hill Cemetery. The western edge of the sheet follows the Dallas County and Laclede County line, passing through the settlement of Brittain. Small water bodies like Jacobs Lake and the various forks of Brush Creek provide additional landmarks for those tracing property boundaries or historical land use in this part of Missouri.
