About this map

Wilson Creek Battlefield National Park dominates the northeastern landscape of this survey, preserving the grounds of a pivotal Civil War engagement. Near the Wilson Creek banks, the Ray House stands as a significant landmark of the 1861 conflict. The topography transitions from the growing town of Republic in the north down to the agricultural communities of Clever and Boaz.

Transport and industry are shaped by the St Louis San Francisco railroad and the Pacific line, which cut through the Ozark terrain. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family burial grounds, including Wise Hill Cem, Edgar Cem, and Manley Cem. The James River meanders through the southeast corner, fed by tributaries like Terrell Creek and Green Valley Creek, illustrating the water-rich landscape that defined early Missouri settlement and land use.
