About this map

Twelvemile and Buckhorn sit within a landscape defined by the rugged eastern reaches of the Saint Francois Mountains. This 2015 survey of the Madison Co and Wayne Co border region captures a territory heavily shaped by its complex hydrology, where Middle Fork Big Cr, E Fork Big Cr, and W Fork Big Cr converge near McKelvey Dam. The high density of named hollows, such as Cab Barrett Hollow and Puch Hollow, indicates a deeply dissected topography where early settlement and local identity were tied closely to specific drainages.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial sites, including the Old Mount Pisgah Cemetery in the northwest and the Dixon-Sutton Cemetery further south. The map documents the persistent rural character of settlements like Cascade and Gravelton, connected by a network of county roads including CR-204 and CR-201. These small communities and family-named landmarks provide a detailed look at the geographic layout of these Ozark foothills in the early 21st century.
