About this map

Selmore and the surrounding Christian County landscape are defined by the winding drainages of the Mark Twain National Forest. This 2015 topography shows a region of deep hollows and prominent ridges, such as Logan Ridge and Green Mound Ridge, where rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks. The map documents several local burial sites, including Adams Cemetery, King Cemetery, Cobb Cemetery, and Mapes Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Missouri.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Hog Cr, Woods Fork, and Bull Cr carving through the terrain near the Selmore Natural Arch. The area maintains a mix of agricultural and aviation interests, noted by the presence of Gimlin Airport and Skyview Airport. Small settlements like Christian Center and Shady Grove are connected by a network of local roads such as Tennessee Rd and Jackson Spring Rd, reflecting the modern rural infrastructure of the Missouri Ozarks.
