About this map

Anderson and Goodman anchor this 2017 study of the McDonald County landscape, where the Ozark terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Indian Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaver Br and Stogdon Cr. Local history is deeply etched into the naming of these drainage features, with family-named landmarks like Beeman Hollow, Kinslow Hollow, and Sellers Hollow recording the lineage of local landholders.

Transportation and utility are represented by the corridor connecting Elliff and Kelley Springs to the larger settlements, while the small B and S Farms Airfield sits in the southwestern quadrant near S Fork Patterson Cr. This era shows a mix of rural residential development and agricultural land use, particularly around Splitlog and the prominent Holloway Mtn, illustrating how the modern road network has adapted to the steep elevation changes of the Missouri Ozarks.
