About this map

Rolla serves as the focal point of this Phelps County survey, dominated by the campus of the Missouri University of Science and Technology and the surrounding residential growth. The landscape to the west and south transitions into the protected woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest, where the terrain is carved by the winding paths of Little Piney Creek and Beaver Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites throughout the region, ranging from the large Rolla Cemetery to numerous smaller family or community plots like Strawhun Cemetery, Hoss Ray-Miller Cemetery, and Joshau Light Cemetery. The survey also documents significant transportation and infrastructure, including the Rolla Downtown Airport and various reservoirs such as Martin Reservoir and Brays Lake, providing a clear view of the area's mid-decade development and land use.
