2012 Map of Roby

About this map

Plato and Roby anchor the southern reaches of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the terrain is deeply carved by the winding paths of Roubidoux Creek and Little Piney Creek. The map reveals a rural network of named ridge roads and forest tracks, such as St Anna Rd and Forestry Lane 1526, connecting small settlements like Evening Shade and Palace. Geologic features define the character of the land, notably at Daniels Sinkhole and the sheltered Pine Hollow. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of Macedonia Cemetery and Cook Cemetery provides critical geographic anchors for family history. The Roby Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the eastern heights, overlooking a region where the drainage patterns of Rock Creek and Prairie Creek dictate the placement of early homesteads and modern routes alike.
