About this map

Purdy serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, where a dense grid of residential streets and the N City Hwy 37 corridor anchor the local economy. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by its deep genealogical roots, marked by numerous small burial grounds including Stones Prairie Cem, Mount Pisgah Cem, and Goodnight Cem. These sites, often situated near family-named landmarks like Todd Hollow and Gunter Hollow, speak to generations of settlement in Barry County.

Waterways like Hudson Cr and S Fork Capps Cr cut through the terrain, while the map records several distinct smaller communities such as Corsicana, Burtonville, and Butterfield. The road network, comprising numbered routes like Farm Rd 2040 and State Hwy B, reveals a well-established pattern of rural homesteads and agricultural plots. Aviation interest is noted at the Ingram Private Airport, providing a modern contrast to the traditional creek-side settlements like East Purdy.
