1999 Map of Seligman

About this map

Washburn and Seligman anchor this rural landscape in the southwest corner of Missouri, just north of the border between Missouri and Arkansas. The area is defined by a series of named hollows and ridges, including Washburn Hollow, Blockade Hollow, and Sparkman Hollow, which feed into local waterways like Flat Creek. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, such as Riley Cemetery and Washburn Prairie Cemetery, while local community life is marked by country churches like Rock Springs Church and Salem Church. To the east, the terrain shifts into the protected boundaries of the Mark Twain National Forest, where Long Ridge and Butler Creek dominate the interior. The map also identifies local landmarks like McCann Cave and the Reed Mountain area, providing a look at the intersection of agriculture and forest land at the close of the twentieth century.
