About this map

Anthonies Mill serves as a central landmark in this 1960s landscape, where the rugged terrain of Pea Ridge meets the intricate drainage network of Courtois Creek and Brazil Creek. The area reflects a mix of remote industrial activity and deeply rooted local history, characterized by scattered mines and several family or community burial grounds. Industrial signatures are prominent, including the Pea Ridge Mine in the north and the Old Christy Mine further south, connected by a utility Pipeline that cuts across the timbered ridges of the Boone National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Anthonies Cem, Record Cem, and Swan Cem, which anchor the small settlements of the Missouri Ozarks. Natural landmarks like Record Cave near Crows Creek and Flint Hill define the physical geography of the Crawford and Washington County border. The map documents a period before modern development, preserving the locations of rural gathering places like Brazil Ch and the winding reaches of Little Brazil Creek.
