1983 Map of Rocky Mount

About this map

The Morgan and Miller County line divides this landscape, where the rugged drainages of the Ozark plateau meet the regulated waters of the Lake of the Ozarks. Established family names are preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Sidebottom Cem, Cooper Cem, and Riley Lamb Cem, indicating long-standing rural settlement patterns. The topography is defined by deep hollows like Shelton Hollow and Louis Woods Hollow that channel water toward the Gravois Arm. This 1983 edition shows the area's mixed economy, from the extractive history of the Stover Mine to the modern conservation efforts at the Rocky Mount Towersite State Wildlife Area. Local social life centers on small congregations including Union Ch and Rocky Mount Ch, while the St Louis Southwestern corridor cuts across the northern reaches near Barnett.
