About this map

Tyner Creek carves a deep path through this portion of Adair County, defining a landscape of narrow ridges and deeply recessed hollows. In the mid-2010s, this area remained characterized by its small rural settlements and an intricate network of local roads such as d0602 RD and n4690 RD. The community of Chance sits near the center of the map, while Chewey occupies the northwestern corner and Proctor lies to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant topographical detail in the naming of numerous family and descriptive landmarks, including Kill Hollow, Murell Hollow, and Gray Squirrel Hollow. The presence of New Hope Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle serves as a primary point of interest for those tracing local family roots. The drainage system is equally detailed, showing the courses of Luna Branch, Jaybird Creek, and Peacheater Creek as they navigate the dissected terrain.
