About this map

Greeley and Crossville anchor this survey of the northern Ozarks, where the West Fork Black River and its tributaries carve deep through the timberlands. The industrial character of the region is evident in the presence of the Brushy Creek Mine and Buck Mine, along with a modern Tailings Pond and Tailings Conveyor system that signals the scale of lead mining operations in the late 20th century. Historical land use is further marked by the Charcoal Kilns located near the Bucksnort Fork.

Much of the area is protected as part of the Mark Twain National Forest and the Sinkin Experimental Forest, highlighting the area's importance to forestry research. Local heritage is preserved at sites like New Harmony Ch and numerous family burying grounds, including Camden Cem and Callahan Cem. The landscape is defined by its many hollows, such as Tarpit Hollow and Hodge Hollow, and significant high points like Buck Lookout.
