About this map

Bethpage and Bethlehem anchor this portion of McDonald County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges. The drainage patterns of Big Sugar Creek and Elkhorn Creek have carved a terrain filled with local landmarks like Bee Bluff and Blue Clay Ridge. This 2015 survey reveals a rural Missouri landscape where historical spring sites remain central to the geography, notably Elkhorn Springs and He Hanken Spring.

Smaller settlements and named localities such as Simcoe, Longview, and Kings Valley are connected by a web of local routes with distinctive names like Slim Chance Road and Possum Hollow Road. Genealogists and local historians can trace family associations through the numerous named hollows, including Stillhouse Hollow, Johnson Hollow, and Tiddle Hollow, which speak to the area's long-standing agricultural and pioneer character south of the Elkhorn waters.
