About this map

Boylers Mill and its namesake Boylers Mill Spring anchor this 1983 topographic study of the rugged borderlands between Benton and Morgan counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Buffalo Creek as it flows south toward the northern reaches of the Lake of the Ozarks. This era of the reservoir is captured through underwater contours derived from earlier Union Electric Company charts, revealing the submerged channel of the Osage River beneath the cove.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of family and community landmarks, including Shiloh Cem, Frisch Cem, and the Trinity Chapel. The area’s conservation history is also evident through the Big Buffalo Creek State Wildlife Area and the Carpenter Memorial State Wildlife Area. To the north, the Mt Hulda Lookout Tower stands atop the Williams terrain, overlooking a network of named valleys like School House Hollow and Possum Trot Hollow.
