About this map

Brunot and Beulah serve as the primary focal points of this topographic study, situated along the complex border where Iron, Madison, and Wayne counties meet. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Saint Francois Mountains, including Stony Mtn and Mudlick Mtn, which drop into narrow valleys carved by Crane Pond Creek and Big Creek. This terrain creates a distinct pattern of isolated family-named hollows such as McCue Hollow, Henderson Hollow, and Mash Hollow.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family cemeteries across these ridges and valleys. Landmarks like Meadows Cem, Brewington Cem, and Hunter Cem are noted alongside several Chilton Cem locations, suggesting a deeply rooted kinship network throughout the hills. Water sources like Blue Spring and Weeping Willow Spring provided essential resources for these small upland communities, many of which remain connected by rural routes like Co Rd 163 and State Hwy FF.
