About this map

Crooked Creek meanders through the northern hills of Boone County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural communities and family legacies. Near the settlement of Everton, the terrain is marked by the path of an Old Railroad Grade, reflecting the importance of historical transit corridors through the Ozark foothills. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Britton, Warner, and Newton cemeteries, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows near Rally Hill and Olvey.

The area is characterized by its numerous branches and hollows, such as Cowvat Hollow and Meeks Creek, which drain into larger basins like Kings Prairie. Notable landmarks such as Saltpeter Cave and Crawford Mountain rise above the agricultural clearings. Small country churches, including Liberty, Olvey, and Davis, served as the spiritual and social centers for these dispersed homesteads during the mid-twentieth century.
