2021 Map of Republic

About this map

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield anchors the northeast portion of this survey, preserving the site of the first major American Civil War battle west of the Mississippi River. The map documents the landscape surrounding this historic ground, including Bloody Hill and the Manley Cem, where the high ground transitions toward the James River corridor. The geography is defined by a series of spring-fed waterways such as Shuyler Cr, Terrell Cr, and Wilsons Creek, which helped shape the early settlement patterns and agricultural development of both Greene and Christian counties.
