About this map

The Berryman settlement serves as a focal point for this landscape in the late 1970s, situated at the boundary of Crawford Co and Washington Co. This rural Missouri terrain is defined by the winding course of Courtois Creek and the protective canopy of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a scattered community structure typical of the Ozark region, where family legacies are marked by small cemeteries such as Courtois Cem, Dobkins Cem, and Criswell Cem.

Recreational sites like the Berryman Campground and Edward Beecher Recreation Area indicate a transition toward public land management and conservation. Notable hydrology includes the feeding of Woods Lake and the various hollows that drain into Brazil Creek and Clear Creek. The inclusion of Oak Grove Ch and the small hamlet of Four Points provides essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the social geography of this region during the era of Wallace B. Howe's state geological administration.
