About this map

The borderlands of Christian, Webster, and Douglas counties are defined by a network of rural settlements and headwater streams in this 2015 survey. Small communities like Bruner, Elkhead, and Olga anchor the landscape, connected by a dense web of local routes such as Martins Branch Rd and Stewart Creek Rd. The terrain is deeply etched by water, with Finley Creek and Stewart Cr carving through the Ozark topography, while Murphy Pond provides a rare stationary water feature in the southern half of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of family and community burial grounds. From Easter Cemetery and Sartin Cemetery in the north to Swearengin Cemetery near Elkhead, these sites offer precise locations for historical research. The map also documents geographic features like Phillips Hollow and Smith Hollow, alongside defunct or smaller place names like Zenar and Abadyl, which may no longer appear on modern digital navigation.
