2011 Map of Brays

About this map

Brays and the rural communities of Traderight and Atwell anchor this part of Miller County, characterized by a complex drainage network feeding into the Little Maries River and Little Tavern Creek. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these winding waterways, connected by a network of local roads such as Elm Springs Rd and Co Road K-14. Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties at Rose Cemetery and Washington Cemetery, or follow the namesake Brays Church Rd. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal branches like Elm Springs Branch and Greasy Creek, which flow through the undulating landscape toward larger catchments like Joe Hanauer Lake. This document illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential character of the region during the early 21st century.
