About this map

Annapolis sits at the northern edge of this study of the Saint Francois Mountains, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain carved by Big Creek and its many tributaries, including Island Br and Funk Br. The distribution of family burial grounds, such as Sisk Cemetery, Ruble Cemetery, and Wallace Cemetery, reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region.

Infrastructure like Mo-BB and numerous county roads, such as Robinson Mill Rd and Old Mines Rd, trace the natural contours of the land, connecting the small communities of Vulcan and Des Arc. To the south, Shy Lake and the Slabtown Valley mark a transition toward the Iron and Wayne County borders. The map documents the enduring character of these Ozark foothills, where narrow valleys like Hackworth Hollow and McCue Hollow provide the primary corridors for development and agriculture.
