About this map

The rolling landscape of the northern Ozarks is documented here at the intersection of Phelps, Crawford, and Dent Counties. Small crossroads settlements like Seaton and Winkler serve as focal points for a rural community defined by its watercourses, including Norman Creek and the West Fork Benton Creek. The map reveals a land utilized for both subsistence and industry, noting several unidentified Mine locations near Clinton and along the southern borders.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and local institutions. Country churches and schools, such as Highland Ch and Hale Sch, are dispersed among numerous burial grounds including Asher Cem, Bell Cem, and Freeman Cem. Transportation history is visible in the form of an old Railroad Grade and the tracks of the Burlington Northern, illustrating the transition from early timber or mineral extraction lines to modern rail networks.
