About this map

Grays Point, Rescue, and Phelps anchor this corner of Lawrence County, where the Ozark plateau begins its transition toward the southwest Missouri plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Spring River in the south and the drainage basins of White Oak Cr and Stahl Cr. This rural area is heavily marked by its genealogical history, containing numerous family and community burial grounds including Grays Point Cem, Goss Cem, Cole Cem, and Wilson Cem.

Transportation and utility are represented by the presence of Kingsley Airfield and a structured grid of county roads. The topography is etched with named drainages and depressions such as Colley Hollow and Hodge Hollow, which have historically influenced local movement and settlement patterns. This survey provides a precise view of the land division and natural water features that have sustained these communities for generations.
