About this map

The Vichy settlement and the adjacent Rolla National Airport define the northeastern corner of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the plateau begins its descent into a series of steep hollows and ridges. The map reveals a deeply etched topography characterized by features like East Coyle Hollow and Gaines Ridge, with numerous springs and small waterways such as Weaver Creek and Rocky Branch cutting through the terrain. Evidence of the region's extractive economy is visible through several Claypit and Quarry sites near the settlement of Macedonia.

Family history is well-preserved through a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Tennison Cem, Sharp Cem, and Hodge Cem, which are scattered among the ridges of Spring Creek and Johnson townships. Cultural landmarks such as the Davis Ch, the WaHeLo Woods Camp, and the Community Hall indicate the established social structure of these unincorporated Maries and Phelps County communities during the late 1970s.
