About this map

Waynesville and neighboring Saint Robert dominate this landscape within the Ozark Mountains, situated where Roubidoux Creek meets the meandering Gasconade River. The map documents a significant intersection of modern infrastructure and heritage, most notably the path of Old Route 66 and Historic 66 E as they navigate the area's complex topography. These roadways connect the population centers to the northern boundary of Fort Leonard Wood, highlighting the military installation's proximity to the local community.

Deeply carved hollows like Burchard Hollow and Sawmill Hollow define the terrain, much of which is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest. For those researching local history, numerous family-named burial grounds are preserved across the ridges and valleys, including Turpin Cemetery, Rayle Cemetery, and the Gospel Ridge Union Cemetery. Notable hydrological features such as Roubidoux Spring and Cole Spring further emphasize the region's karst-influenced environment.
