About this map

Spring River meanders across this rural Missouri landscape, following the southern reaches of Lawrence County where agriculture and transportation infrastructure intersect. The Missouri Pacific rail line cuts through the valley, serving Stotts City (Sta) and mirroring the path of several industrial utility lines labeled as Pipeline. This 1970s survey captures the region's established social geography, marked by numerous rural burying grounds including Grays Point Cem, Goss Cem, and Beck Cem. Small rural centers like Rescue, Phelps, and Grays Point appear as dispersed settlements connected by a grid of local roads and sections. The presence of Stone Chapel and West Sch points to the community foundations of the area, while the terrain is defined by the carved paths of Dry Fork, Stahl Creek, and Colley Hollow as they drain toward the river system.
