About this map

Lake of the Ozarks reaches into the southern margin of this quadrangle, where the small settlement of Proctor sits at the head of a winding arm of the water. The landscape is defined by the heavy dissection of the Buffalo and Haw Creek regions, characterized by a dense network of hollows that reflect long-standing local naming traditions, such as Indian Camp Hollow, Sugar Camp Hollow, and Coon Rod Hollow.

Evidence of rural community life in Morgan County is preserved through numerous small sites, including Richie Ch, New Bethel Ch, and the Ard-Menteer Cem. High points are marked by features like the Lookout Tower within the Proctor Towersite State Wildlife Area. The northern reaches are drained by Flat Creek and Devils Backbone Creek, while various Pits and a Quarry indicate the area's geological and extractive history.
