2021 Map of Seaton

About this map

Seaton and the surrounding rural landscape at the intersection of Phelps, Crawford, and Dent Counties are defined by a complex network of Ozark hollows and ridges. This modern survey illustrates a quiet, decentralized settlement pattern centered on family-named landmarks and historic burials. Numerous cemeteries, including the Benton-Hale Cem and Grubb-Andrew Cem, are tucked away in the terrain near drainage systems like Norman Cr and W Fork Benton Cr. The map reveals the persistence of early pioneer naming conventions in features such as Asher Hollow and Normans Hollow, while small settlements like Winkler and Bangert serve as navigational anchors along the winding state highways and county roads. Prominent elevations such as Blue Knob and Wards Hill provide the relief that dictates the course of the local creeks, including the Dry Fork in the southwest corner.
