2021 Map of Prescott

About this map

The Big Piney River winds through the heart of this landscape in Texas County, carving out significant terrain markers like Narrow Gap Bluff and Piney Bend Airport. The small community of Prescott serves as a central point, surrounded by a high density of family-named burial grounds that offer valuable data for genealogists, including Sliger Cem, Burnett Cem, and the Arthurs Creek Cem. This area of the Ozark plateau is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, such as Elmo Ridge and Dzurk Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like State HWY BB and Highway E. Portions of the Mark Twain National Forest and lands under the Farm Service Agency Interest of Missouri indicate a mix of protected timberland and agricultural management. Water features like Boiling Spring and Burnett Spring highlight the region's karstic nature, while the river provides recreation and transport via the Henry River Access.
