2011 Map of Poughkeepsie

About this map

Strawberry River meanders through the northern reaches of this Sharp County landscape, anchoring a rural network of small communities and family burial grounds in the early twenty-first century. The settlement of Poughkeepsie serves as a primary local hub, featuring the Poughkeepsie Post Office and nearby Jarrett Cemetery. To the east and south, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Clayton Creek, Cedar Creek, and South Big Creek, which flow toward the outlying hamlets of Nelsonville, Calamine, and Ben-Gay. Genealogists will find a high density of ancestral sites, including Spotts Cemetery near Hurricane Hollow and McAdams Cemetery further south. The map documents a strictly rural economy where the road system, such as Strawberry River Rd and Nelsonville Rd, follows the natural contours of the Ozark foothills' drainage basins.
