1951 Map of Prescott

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Big Piney River carves a winding path through the northern half of this Missouri Ozarks landscape, flanked by prominent landmarks like Narrow Gap Bluff and Bell Bluff. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered ridges and hollows, such as Elmo Ridge and Steam Mill Hollow, within the Mark Twain National Forest. The settlement of Prescott serves as a local anchor, while the surrounding rural landscape in Lynch and Sherrill townships is dotted with centers of early community life. Genealogists will find several burial sites and education landmarks, including Antioch Cem, Cavaness Cem, and the Venable Sch. The mapping records numerous natural springs like Boiling Spring and Strawberry Spring, which likely served as vital water sources for the scattered homesteads of the mid-20th century.
