About this map

Roubidoux Creek carves a winding path through this portion of the Ozarks, defining a landscape where the northern boundary of Texas County meets Pulaski County. The map shows the transition from the military training grounds of Fort Leonard Wood in the north to the managed timberlands of the Mark Twain National Forest further south. Small communities like Evening Shade and Roby are positioned along the ridges and hollows, connected by rural routes such as Golden Rod Dr and Roby Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks including the Macedonia Cem near the northern edge and Cook Cem nestled among the hills. The terrain is marked by distinctive karst features, most notably Daniels Sinkhole near the eastern margin. Drainage patterns are complex, with Little Piney Cr and Rock Cr feeding into the larger local watersheds that have supported these upland settlements for generations.
