2015 Map of South Greenfield

About this map

Turnback Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of bluffs and hollows across this Missouri landscape. The area is defined by its small, scattered agricultural settlements including South Greenfield, Pennsboro, and Pilgrim. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain rich with family history, marked by numerous small burial grounds such as Friend Cemetery, Merrick Cemetery, and Bishop Cemetery. The presence of Dilday Mill and Snadon Ford suggests the historical importance of the local waterways for early industry and transport. From the Daughtrey Bluff overlooks to the lowlands of Stillhouse Hollow, the map documents a region where local names are deeply tied to the physical geography. The boundary between Dade and Lawrence counties crosses the southern portion, near the settlement of Olinger, illustrating the persistent administrative and social divisions of the rural Ozark plateau.
