About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains frame this corner of southeast Missouri, where the settlement of Allbright serves as a central point in a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges. The map records a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Rickman Cemetery, Blaylock Cemetery, and Moores Chapel Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the hills. These sites, along with others like Rhodes Cemetery and Kinder Chapel Cemetery, provide vital geographic markers for those researching the early residents of Madison, Wayne, and Bollinger counties.

Surface drainage is dictated by numerous hollows such as Norris Hollow, Red Sea Hollow, and Wolfpen Hollow, which feed into local waterways like Gimlet Cr and Big Cr. The boundary lines for Madison Co and Bollinger Co intersect here, highlighting the jurisdictional complexity of this rural area. Notable landmarks such as Big Rock and a south-end Campground reflect the traditional use of this terrain for both orientation and recreation in the early 21st century.
