2020 Map of Poughkeepsie

About this map

The Strawberry River winds across the northern landscape of this Sharp County quadrangle, defining a terrain of narrow valleys and ridges in the Ozark foothills. Small agricultural communities and family settlements are connected by a network of rural roads like Hulett Rd and Nelsonville Rd. The map documents three primary village centers: Poughkeepsie in the west, Nelsonville at the central junction, and Calamine in the southeast. Genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named burial sites, including Spotts Cem, McAdams Cem, and Parsley Cem. Water sources are abundant throughout the township lines of T17N and T16N, with South Big Creek, Mill Cr, and Clayton Cr feeding the regional drainage system. The presence of Brooks Hurricane Hollow in the north suggests the lasting mark of natural events on the local nomenclature and topography.
