1987 Map of Bucyrus

About this map

Bucyrus serves as a central point in this late-twentieth-century survey of the Ozark plateau, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Piney River. The topography is characterized by intricate drainages like West Piney Creek, Hamilton Creek, and Roubidoux Creek, which have carved numerous hollows such as Spurlock Hollow and Hungry Hollow. Small rural communities including Plum Valley, Dykes, Clara, and Bado are dispersed across the townships of Upton, Piney, Morris, and Cass. Conservation land is prominent, notably the Houston Tower Site State Wildlife Area and the Piney River Narrows State Natural Area. These features, along with landmarks like Dripping Springs and The Narrows, reflect a region where public land management and traditional Ozark settlements coexist within a complex system of creek-side flats and ridgeline roads.
