About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains define the northern terrain of this quadrangle, where the E Fork Big Cr and W Fork Big Cr converge near the settlement of Buckhorn. The landscape is a dense network of hollows named for local families and landmarks, including Cab Barrett Hollow, Joe Hollow, and Norris Hollow. Along the boundary between Madison and Wayne counties, small communities like Cascade and Gravelton sit near the winding banks of Big Cr.

Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites scattered across the ridges, such as Old Mount Pisgah Cem, Dixon-Sutton Cem, and the Huffman-McKelvey Cem located near McKelvey Dam. This survey documents a quiet rural economy centered on the river forks, where isolated homesteads were linked by routes like State HWY M and State HWY Ee, preserving the locations of namesake features such as Hammack Hill and Gimlet Mtn before further modernization.
