About this map

Bethpage and Longview anchor this part of McDonald County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of narrow valleys and high ridges. The topography is deeply etched by water, with Big Sugar Creek and Mikes Cr cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local springs such as Elkhorn Springs and He Hanken Spring suggest the hydrological character that likely influenced early settlement patterns in these hollows.

Named landmarks provide clues to the area's rural industry and geography, including Stillhouse Hollow and Lime Kiln Ridge. The ridge system is clearly articulated with features like Blue Clay Ridge, Chase Ridge, and Old Foot Ridge. This 2021 survey details the modern road network, including State Hwy CC and State Hwy E, while preserving the traditional names of the many hollows and bluffs, such as Bee Bluff, that have long defined this Ozark borderland.
