About this map

Caplinger Mills serves as the focal point of this landscape, situated along the Sac River and the Sac River Reservoir. The terrain is defined by the winding river valley and its numerous offshoots, including Horseshoe Bend and several named bluffs like Vilhauer Bluff and Moore Bluff. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure of family-named cemeteries and landmarks that speak to the area's long-standing settlement history, such as Hackleman Cem, Rookins Cem, and the Haynie Branch Natural Bridges.

North of the mills, the settlement of Blackjack sits near the St. Clair Co and Cedar Co line. The hydrology is particularly complex here, with Cowan Lake East, Dorman Lake, and numerous hollows such as Vilhauer Hollow and Ritchson Hollow carving through the Ozark foothills. This survey documents the modern road network, including State Hwy J and E Hwy N, superimposed over the natural drainage of Cedar Creek and Turkey Cr.
