2015 Map of Strafford

About this map

The town of Strafford serves as a focal point in this 2015 survey, situated where the historic corridor of E Old Route 66 meets the modern thoroughfares of the Ozark plateau. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major drainage systems, including the Little Sac River and the various forks of the Pomme de Terre River. The terrain transitions from the relatively flat uplands near the Greene and Webster county line into the more dissected topography of Millan Hollow. Local family history is well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds such as Mullimax Cemetery, Willis Cemetery, and Welch Cemetery. Water features like Hardeke Lake, Mueller Lake, and Salisbury Lake dot the countryside, while small named communities like Holman, Caddo, and Red Top anchor the rural road network, which is dominated by a systematic grid of farm roads and residential lanes such as Bumgarner Blvd.
