2021 Map of Brush Creek

About this map

Caffeyville and Morgan anchor this section of Laclede County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by its characteristic karst topography and complex drainage patterns. The presence of Silver Mine Sink in the northeast suggests the unique geological underpinnings of the region, while numerous named hollows like Goodwin Hollow, Wildcat Hollow, and Selvage Hollow illustrate the deeply dissected terrain carved by Brush Cr and its tributaries. Local history is preserved through a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including White Oak Pond Cem, Pisgah Cem, and Builderback Cem. These landmarks, along with established rural settlements like Evergreen, reflect a enduring agricultural and residential pattern connected by a network of state highways and country lanes that navigate the winding valleys.
