About this map

Cyclone Hollow characterizes the deeply dissected Ozark landscape on the border of Franklin and Washington counties. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined more by its intricate drainages and named hollows than by large-scale urban development. Deep ravines such as Granddaddy Hollow, Simmons Hollow, and Mule Barn Hollow funnel water toward larger streams like Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek.

The small settlement of Huff sits in the northeast corner, while the rest of the landscape is dotted with generational landmarks and rural infrastructure. Genealogists can find several burial grounds across these hills, including New Chapel Hill Cemetery, Arnold Cemetery, and New Hope Cemetery. The presence of the Saint Francois Mountains in the southern reaches highlights the ancient geology of the area, which is navigated by a network of winding roads like State Highway A and Chapel Hill Road.
