About this map

Timber Knob and Ludecker Bald anchor a terrain defined by steep ridges and narrow hollows in the Missouri Ozarks. The landscape is marked by a complex network of county roads that navigate between significant elevations such as Double Head Knob and Bear Cave Mtn. Waterways like Barren Fork and Ludecker Cr follow the low ground, while numerous family-named hollows, including Stillhouse Hollow and Barker Hollow, indicate a long history of rural settlement and local industry.

Genealogical interest is found at Sheppard Cem and Brushy Knob Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of the area's residents. The inclusion of Rocky Top Airfield provides a modern navigational point amidst traditional place names like Tater Cave Mtn and Mineral Hill. This survey captures the enduring rural character of Ozark County, where topographical features like Preston Flat Ridge dictate the placement of both historic homesteads and contemporary transit.
