2011 Map of Brandsville

About this map

Brandsville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Howell County, situated along the corridor of Old Route 63. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Warm Fork Spring River and the winding Elk Creek, which feed into the area's varied topography of hollows and karst features like Harbeston Sink. Several smaller settlements and historical points of interest are scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Cull in the north and the community of Howell Valley. Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Francis Cemetery and descriptive terrain names such as Rattlesnake Hollow. The map also documents specific crossings, including Pocohontas Crossing and Hunter Crossing, reflecting the importance of managed passage across the many creeks and branches that dissect this Ozark region.
