About this map

Ringo Point and the small settlement of Pure Air anchor this rural landscape along the border of Sullivan and Adair Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-named trails, such as Husky Trl and Loeffler Store Trl, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks. The terrain is deeply dissected by waterways including Little Mussel Cr, Billy Cr, and Walnut Cr, creating a complex topography of ridges and draws.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Ringo Point Cemetery, Campbell Cemetery, and Daniels Cemetery. Industrial history is represented by the presence of Mines located north of the Hog Cr drainage, while the southern portion of the quadrangle includes the tiny community of Zig. The persistence of these small place names and numerous cemeteries provides a detailed look at the historical settlement patterns of northern Missouri.
