About this map

The settlement of Sprague serves as a central landmark in this southwestern Missouri landscape, situated near the boundary where Howard and New Home townships meet. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Muddy Creek and Pryor Creek, with the latter joined by the Rutledge Fork Pryor Creek. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to conservation, including the Peabody State Wildlife Area and the Harmony Mission State Wildlife Area, which features a Boat Ramp for local access.

Evidence of historical infrastructure and local industry appears via an Old RR Grade and a Quarry near the center of the sheet. For those researching family history in the area, the map preserves the locations of Greenlawn Cemetery, Fairview Ridge Cem, and Bethel Ch. The boundary between Bates Co and Vernon Co runs through the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the connectivity between these two rural counties in the early 1990s.
