About this map

Bryant Creek and its tributary Tarbutton Cr carve a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges across this Douglas County quadrangle. Small Missouri settlements like Brushyknob, Coldspring, and Champion are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the complex topography, including Coonts Ridge and Wolfpen Hollow. The map reveals a rural Ozark character where local identity is tied to specific drainages and landforms, such as Negro Henry Hollow and Bluegrass Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of community life at the Clever Creek Cem and New Hope Cem. The presence of reliable water sources is noted by named features like Callaway Riffle Spring and Days Spring. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valleys, with Evans and Sweden serving as local nodes amidst the numerous family-named hollows like McCratic Hollow and McCord Mill Hollow.
