About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this landscape in the late 1960s, where the high ridges of the Ozarks are incised by the drainage systems of the West Fork Black River and East Fork Huzzah Creek. Industrial development is evident at the Buick Mine in the northeast, served by the St Louis San Francisco railroad and marked by the Buick Lookout Tower.

Smaller settlements and rural nodes like Greeley and Crossville provide localized centers for the community, each anchored by landmarks such as Greeley Ch and Crossville Ch. Notable historic paths such as the Karkaghne Trail wind through the timbered hills, connecting family-named sites like McMurtrey Hollow and Callahan Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows and springs, including Cave Spring near the southern edge, reflecting a period of transition between traditional forest life and modern resource extraction.
