About this map

Southwest City occupies the southwestern corner of this 2015 survey, situated where the Oklahoma-Missouri border meets the corner of Delaware and McDonald Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Elk River and its numerous tributaries, including Honey Cr, Saratoga Cr, and Cave Springs Br. This drainage network has carved a series of distinct hollows into the terrain, such as Honey Lake Hollow, Shanghai Hollow, and Pine Hollow.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the South West City Cemetery to smaller family or community plots like the Williams-Hays Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Stone Cemetery. Small settlements and historic locales like Saratoga, Pack, and Spring Valley are connected by a network of rural roads such as McKee Rd and Farm Rd, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns of the Ozark borderlands in the early 21st century.
