2012 Map of Success

About this map

The settlement of Success serves as a central hub in this northern Texas County landscape, where the shifting centers of local life are recorded by the presence of Old Success nearby. The area is defined by a network of winding roads like Mill Rd and Roubidoux Rd that navigate the hollows and creek beds of the Ozark Plateau. To the east, the small community of Ellsworth sits near Gillian Hollow, while Ellis Prairie and Mitchells Corner mark significant crossroads further south. The drainage patterns of East Fork Roubidoux Creek and Big Paddy Creek have historically dictated the placement of farms and early homesteads. Genealogists and local historians can trace family land ties through prominent rural landmarks and named geographic features such as Brushy Hollow and Flatrock Hollow, which provide a detailed look at the local topography and naming conventions of this Missouri region.
