2012 Map of Brushyknob

About this map

Bryant Creek and its many tributaries, such as Planer Branch and Tarbutton Creek, dictate the geography of this Douglas County landscape. The area is characterized by a dense network of hollows, including Negro Henry Hollow, Wolfpen Hollow, and Cane Hollow, which reveal the complex drainage patterns of the Ozark Plateau. Small settlements and crossroads like Brushyknob, Coldspring, and Champion are connected by a web of county roads, showing a dispersed rural settlement pattern that persists into the early 21st century. Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as Clever Creek Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Days Springs. The southern portion of the map features the community of Sweden and the nearby Sweden Hollow, while Vera Cruz sits to the west, illustrating the enduring placenames of this Missouri region.
