2015 Map of Vanzant

About this map

Vanzant and its surrounding hamlets in the Missouri Ozarks represent a landscape defined by deep-cut hollows and significant local genealogical markers. This 2015 update of the terrain shows a pattern of high-ridge settlements, where small communities like Drury and Buckhart are positioned near headwaters and creek confluences. The network of county roads, such as Co Road 144 and Co Road 246, follows the natural contours between White Ridge and Nye Ridge, connecting family burial sites including the Clifty Cemetery and Call Cemetery. Within the Mark Twain National Forest, the topography is notably dissected by drainages like Greasy Cr and the W Fork Brush Cr, creating isolated features such as Toothpick Hollow and Twin Knobs. The map detail allows for a precise understanding of how the rural Douglas County road network navigates these steep elevation changes to maintain access to established homesteads and timber resources.
