About this map

The Saint Francois Mountains define the southern landscape of this 2015 survey, where the border of Franklin Co and Washington Co divides a terrain of named hollows and creek branches. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Huff sits near the confluence of Girard Br and Yellow Dog Br. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural geography, characterized by small family-named landmarks like Granddaddy Hollow, Mule Barn Hollow, and Sheep Ranch Hollow. These names suggest a legacy of agriculture and livestock that persists even as modern roads like Indian Hills Dr and Durango Dr provide access to the interior.

Local history is preserved in the distribution of several isolated burial grounds, including the New Chapel Hill Cemetery and Arnold Cemetery. The intricate drainage network, featuring Little Indian Cr and California Br, dictates the winding paths of rural routes such as Rye Creek Rd and Dogwood Rd. This geography illustrates the continued importance of natural topography in shaping the settlement patterns and roadway development of this Missouri region.
