About this map

The Civil War Cemetery and Masonic Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks on the outskirts of Seymour, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of this Webster County landscape. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by high-country headwaters, where the James River begins its course alongside tributaries like Teague Creek and Little Finley Creek. The distribution of family burial grounds, including the George Cemetery, McElwain Cemetery, and Alcorn Cemetery, suggests a long history of kinship-based settlement across the hills.

Smaller hubs like Diggins, Mountain Dale, and Finley Falls are connected by a network of local roads such as Amish Loop and Honey Bear Ln, indicating the mix of traditional and modern lifestyles in the region. Features like McElwain Spring and McCormack Spring highlight the essential water sources that originally drew homesteaders to these Ozark uplands, while the proximity of the Mountain Dale Cemetery to its namesake settlement shows the tight-knit nature of these rural communities.
