About this map

Redford and Old Redford occupy the lower reaches of Sinking Creek as it winds through the deeply dissected Ozark landscape of Reynolds County. This 1960s survey reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow valleys, where small settlements and family burial grounds like Durham Cem and Price Cem are tucked into sheltered basins. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, showing the presence of a Fish Hatchery and Roadside Park alongside established spiritual centers such as Pleasant Hill Ch and Camelite Ch.

The topography is intricately named, with dozens of family and descriptive hollows like Brawley Hollow, Pogue Hollow, and Vinson Hollow feeding into larger drainage systems. The presence of the Fifth Principal Meridian running vertically through the western portion of the sheet provides a critical reference point for surveyors and land researchers tracing original property lines and homestead locations in the Missouri interior.
