2015 Map of Spokane

About this map

Spokane and the village of Abesville occupy a transition in the Ozark landscape where the rolling plateaus of Christian County meet the more dissected hills of Stone County. The area is defined by a dendritic network of drainages, including the Bear Cr and W Fork Bear Cr systems, which have carved deep valleys like Hurricane Hollow and Pignut Hollow. Small, historic settlements such as Ponce de Leon, Tauria, and Stutts are scattered along the ridge tops and valley floors, connected by a web of local roads like Old Highway 160 and Daniel Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several rural burial grounds, including Schupbach Cemetery, Stutts Cemetery, and Seaton Cemetery, which serve as vital records of the families that settled these Missouri hills. The southern edge of the map features the northern outskirts of Reeds Spring, showing the continued importance of this corridor for regional travel and commerce.
