About this map

Big Creek winds through the heart of the Saint Francois Mountains in this modern topographical study, defining the valley where the settlements of Glover, Chloride, and Sabula are established. This corridor follows a historical transit route through the southern highlands of Missouri, where the landscape is marked by prominent peaks such as Vickery Mtn and Grassy Mtn. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the territory are protected within the Mark Twain National Forest, preserving the wooded creek bottoms and high ridges.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Glover Baptist Church Cem and the Emilys Chapel Cem. Notable water features like the Section House Hole on the creek and the spring-fed Blue Hole serve as distinctive landmarks for those familiar with the local geography. The map also traces the network of forest roads and county routes, such as Lower Carver Rd and Swaringim Rd, that connect these mountain communities.
