2012 Map of Sweden

About this map

Bryant Creek and its many winding tributaries define this rural landscape of Douglas County, Missouri. The map centers on the small settlements of Larissa and Sweden, the latter of which still maintains the Sweden Post Office in the southeastern corner. This area is heavily marked by its genealogical record, with numerous small burial grounds such as Dyer Cemetery in the north and Whites Creek Cemetery in the southwest, often found near family-named landmarks like Peaky Ridge and Iron Mountain. The drainage pattern is complex, with Wildcat Creek and Hunter Creek flowing through the central hills. Transportation is primarily limited to county routes and local roads, while the Arnika Ranch Airport suggests the continued importance of small-scale aviation for reaching these more secluded sections of the Ozarks.
