About this map

Berryman serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated within the expansive Mark Twain National Forest. The map details a region defined by its deep hollows and creek systems, where family names and local landmarks trace a history of rural settlement along the border of Crawford and Washington counties. Historically significant sites include the Oak Grove Ch and multiple burial grounds such as Courtois Cem, Dobkins Cem, and Criswell Cem, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.

Water and topography dominate the geography, with the Courtois Creek and Lost Creek carving through prominent landforms like Shirley Ridge and Cedar Ridge. The area is well-integrated with recreational features, including the Berryman Trail and the Edward Beecher Recreation Area. The presence of a Heliport and several campgrounds like Brazil Creek Campground indicates the forest's managed use during the late 1970s.
