About this map

Bradleyville sits at the intersection of a complex network of Ozark waterways and hollows, where Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek meet. This 2004 revision of earlier surveys shows a landscape deeply defined by the Mark Twain National Forest, including a designated Non-Motorized Area in the northern reach. The map is a valuable resource for family historians, documenting several rural burying grounds such as Blair Cem, Whitaker Cem, and Patterson Cem located near the southern border.

A notable curiosity is found in the western hills at the Charcoal Ovens near Poague Hollow, hinting at the area's forest-based industries. The terrain is marked by a distinctive system of named hollows, including Old Schoolhouse Hollow and Otter Hollow, which trace the drainage patterns toward the larger creeks. Early travel routes like Old Cheese Walker Road and Essary Road connect the scattered homesteads and cemeteries that populate these ridges and valleys.
