About this map

Roubidoux Creek carves a winding path through the northern reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest, defining the drainage patterns of this Texas County landscape. The area is marked by a history of rural education and community, evidenced by several former institutional locations including the Mount Pisgah Sch (Site), Mill Cr Sch (Site), and Timber Ridge Sch (Site). These sites, alongside the small settlement of Turley, reflect the dispersed nature of early Ozark habitation near the transition between Township 32 North and Township 31 North.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of family and community burial grounds such as Lynch Cem, Old Union Cem, and Old Concord Cem. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of seasonal waterways like Wolf Creek, Dearborn Creek, and Burkhart Branch, which slice through the plateau to create complex hollows such as Jackson Hollow. This survey provides a clear view of the rugged forest interior before modern developments, showing the legacy of forest service management and early 20th-century land use.
