2017 Map of Poughkeepsie

About this map

Poughkeepsie and the surrounding rural landscapes of Sharp County are defined by the winding course of the Strawberry River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures a terrain etched by water, where small communities like Nelsonville and Calamine are linked by a network of named country roads and hollows. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating several family-linked burial sites such as Jarrett Cem, Spotts Cem, and McAdams Cem, along with the James Spring Cem. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands to the ridges near Brooks Hurricane Hollow and Peebles Bluff Rd. Traces of local education remain in labels like Oak Dale School Rd, providing a look at the infrastructure of this Ozark foothills region during the twenty-first century.
