About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates the southern half of this Christian County landscape, where the Ozark plateau is deeply incised by a network of creeks and hollows. The settlement of Chadwick sits at a junction of forest roads, serving as a gateway to the high ground of Strawberry Ridge and Carwine Ridge. To the north, the terrain transitions toward the community of Oldfield and the southern edge of Sparta, where the drainage of Bull Creek and its eastern fork begins to carve through the limestone.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of family burial grounds, including Shipman Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Gardner Cemetery. The topography is defined by evocative local names for the winding valleys, such as Flyblow Hollow, Peckout Hollow, and Sawmill Hollow. This survey captures the rural character of the region, from the shores of Trowbridge Lake to the scattered homesteads along Bray Mine Rd.
