2021 Map of Smallett

About this map

Smallett and Squires anchor the northern reaches of this Missouri landscape, which is defined by the winding drainages of the Little N Fork White River and Spring Creek. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges such as Bristle Ridge and Prieskon Ridge, reflecting the deeply dissected plateau of the Ozarks. Much of the southern and central sections are within the Mark Twain National Forest, where historical routes like the Glade Top Trail follow the high ground above Waterhole Hollow and Sugar Tree Hollow. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Norris - Piland Cem and Krider Cem. The presence of small settlements like Toledo and Foil suggests a persistent pattern of rural life organized around creek forks and mountain gaps.
