About this map

Saint John and the surrounding borderlands of Camden and Pulaski counties are defined by a network of deep-cut drainages and secluded valleys. The namesake Conns Creek winds through the central landscape, joined by tributaries like Murphy Cr and Deberry Cr. This terrain is historically marked by numerous named hollows, including Brumley Hollow, Seven Springs Hollow, and Sock Hollow, which reflect the localized settlement patterns of the Ozark plateau.

Genealogists can identify several family burial sites throughout the area, such as Thornsberry Cemetery, Miles Cemetery, Chalfant Cemetery, and Lewis Cemetery. The landscape transitions from these quiet hollows to more modern developments in the south, where the Richland Municipal Airport sits near the headwaters of Stoops Br. The map also illustrates the intricate rural road system, from the northern Black Locust Rd to the southern Pleasant Knoll Rd, tracing the high ground between the various creek beds.
