About this map

Bryant Creek flows through this Ozark landscape, carving a complex network of hollows across the border of Douglas and Ozark Counties. The settlement of Gentryville serves as a primary reference point in the north, while the smaller communities of Blanche and Trail anchor the central and southern reaches. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain characterized by family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including Henderson Cem and Hale Cem.

Significant elevations such as Abrahams Knob and Simpson Mtn overlook the winding watercourses of Brush Cr and Trail Cr. Notable topographical features like Devils Rock Pile and the prominent Backbone Ridge define the local relief. The distribution of small cemeteries like Eaton Cem and Trail Cem provides essential data for genealogists tracing the early residents of these isolated hollows, including Cane Bottom Hollow and Tar Kiln Hollow.
