About this map

Turnback Creek and its many winding tributaries define the rural landscape of Dade and Lawrence counties, where agricultural land meets the bluffs of the Ozark Plateau. This modern survey documents a region defined by its water sources, from the historical Dilday Mill and Snadon Ford to numerous natural outlets like Buffalo Spring and Bishop Springs. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted local history, anchored by small communities such as South Greenfield and Pilgrim.

Family names are preserved throughout the topography, marking landmarks such as Daughtrey Bluff and Snadon Bluff. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating scattered burial grounds, including the Morris Cem, Friend Cem, and Antioch Cem. The terrain is further detailed by named hollows like Walnut Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, offering a precise view of the drainage patterns and early crossing points that shaped the local road network.
