1982 Map of Bruner

About this map

Finley Creek and its many tributaries, including Greasy Creek and Stewart Creek, carve through this section of the Ozarks where Christian, Webster, and Douglas Counties meet. Small agricultural settlements like Bruner and Elkhead serve as local anchors, while numerous country churches and cemeteries reflect the area's deep-rooted community ties. Of particular interest are landmarks like Green Hill Chapel, McHaffie Ch, and Mount Gillian Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds such as Swearengin Cem and Ragsdale Cem. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several watersheds, with Honey Branch Caves and Murphy Pond marking unique geological features in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transport in the early 1980s was characterized by a network of rural roads crossing numerous fords, while the Burlington Northern line cuts across the northwestern corner near Pedelo Creek.
