About this map

The eponymous settlement of Anthonies Mill serves as a focal point for this 1969 survey of the Crawford and Washington county line. Situated near the confluence of Brazil Creek and Harris Branch, the community is surrounded by a rugged landscape that transition from active industrial sites to the protected lands of the Clark National Forest. To the north, the massive Pea Ridge Mine footprint on Pea Ridge highlights the area's heavy iron ore mining history, while the Old Christy Mine sits tucked away to the southwest.

Local family history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Record Cem, Anthonies Cem, and Swan Cem, which dot the drainages of Little Courtois Creek and Whites Creek. Unique geological features like Record Cave and the branching waters of Greens Branch and Northeast Branch provide a detailed look at the Ozark terrain before extensive modern development altered the rural character of the Liberty and Johnson townships.
