About this map

Success and Old Success anchor this section of Texas County, documenting the distinct settlement patterns of the Ozark Plateau. Much of the northern and western terrain is characterized by the deeply incised drainages of the Mark Twain National Forest, where steep-walled features like Steam Mill Hollow and North Jacktar Hollow cut through the landscape. The nomenclature of the area reflects both its topographical character and industrial history, seen in the Vada Tower landmark near the small community of Vada.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the E Fork Roubidoux Cr and Big Paddy Cr defining the local watersheds. Between these timbered hills and hollows, small crossroads such as Mitchells Corner and Ellis Prairie serve as historical focal points for the rural road network, which includes Hwy AA and Hwy M. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where family-named landmarks like Gillian Hollow and Bridges Hollow speak to generations of local land use.
