About this map

Brunot serves as the central hub for this corner of the Missouri Ozarks, where the boundaries of Iron, Madison, and Wayne counties meet. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Saint Francois Mountains, including prominent peaks like Des Arc Mtn, Mudlick Mtn, and Green Mtn. This area shows a dense concentration of family history, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Lucy Cem, Morris Cem, and Nichols Cem scattered among the hollows.

Water plays a critical role in the topography here, with Crane Pond Creek and Big Creek carving through the valley floors. For recreational history, the map traces the Mudlick Equestrian Hike Trl and the Shut-Ins Trl near the southern boundary, indicating a long-standing tradition of trail systems and natural preserves in this part of the state. The small settlement of Beulah sits to the east, marked by its own Beulah Cem, while numerous hollows like McCue Hollow and Mudlick Hollow speak to the deep-seated local geography.
