About this map

Dogwood and Tigris anchor this interior Ozark landscape, where the boundary between Webster and Douglas Counties cuts through a terrain of deep hollows and high ridges. The map records a dense network of family-named cemeteries, such as Philpott Cem, Silvey Cem, and Ellison Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's genealogical history.

Drainage patterns dictate the movement through the region, with the headwaters of Beaver Cr, Finley Cr, and Swan Cr carving out significant features like Big Spring Hollow and Williams Hollow. These waterways and their accompanying hollows, such as Brixey Hollow and Red Bank Hollow, define the settlement pockets and road paths. High points like Keyger Mtn rise above the drainage basins, illustrating the complex topography that has historically isolated and preserved these rural communities.
