2021 Map of Seligman

About this map

Seligman and Washburn anchor this Barry County landscape, where the Ozark plateau drops into a complex system of ridges and hollows. The area is defined by sharp topographic shifts, from the heights of Oakleigh Mtn and Lennox Mtn to the depths of Dry Hollow and Seligman Hollow. This 2021 survey documents the persistent rural character of southwest Missouri, with numerous family and community burial grounds like Washburn Prairie Cem, Riley Cem, and Burnett Cem scattered throughout the territory. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the protected woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest, while the drainage of Big Sugar Cr and Butler Cr shapes the southern valley floors. A network of Forest Service roads and farm-to-market routes connects these high ridges, reflecting a landscape where local geography continues to dictate settlement and transport patterns.
