About this map

Pomme de Terre Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Missouri landscape, where the Pomme de Terre River and its numerous tributaries like Decker Br and Big Hollow Br have carved a complex network of ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern reflects the area's rural history, with small communities such as Pittsburg, Adonis, and Sentinel serving as local anchors. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved across the terrain, including Oak Grove Baptist Cem, Antioch Cem, and Chamberlain Cem.

The presence of the Ski Harbor Airport near the lakefront indicates the region's development for recreation and local aviation. The county line between Hickory Co and Polk Co bisects the map, crossing over landmarks such as Negro Bend Bluff. The intricate road network, featuring routes like State Hwy H and numerous numbered county roads, traces the legacy of early land divisions and farming access points throughout the southern Ozarks.
