About this map

Phillipsburg and Conway anchor this Ozark Plateau landscape, positioned along a major transit corridor that bisects the terrain. The map details a transition from the structured township grids of the Laclede and Dallas county lines to the winding drainages of Dousinbury Cr and Spring Hollow Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a rural Missouri patchwork where modern infrastructure, like HST Rte 86, overlays a historic foundation of family-named roads and remote burial grounds.

Several isolated cemeteries including Shanks Cem, Lonesome Hill Cem, and Rocky Knob Cem are documented on high ground above the hollows. The dendritic drainage patterns of Brush Cr and its S Fork Brush Cr illustrate the complex topography that historically influenced farm placement and road development in this part of Laclede County. This record captures the contemporary rural character of the area, from the small residential clusters to the wooded terrain of Dogwood Hollow.
