About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through this section of Wayne County, defining a landscape where the river’s course and the surrounding ridges of the Mark Twain National Forest dictate the pattern of settlement. Near the Greenville Bridge, the terrain transitions from the elevations of Cedar Bluff and Flynn Hill down toward the riverbanks. This area is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, such as the Twidwell Farm Cem and Hickman Cem, providing a detailed record of the families who settled these hollows.

Water features dominate the southern half of the map, notably at Holliday Landing where Holliday Cr meets the larger river system. Further east, the Happy Mine suggests historical extraction efforts near the community of Kime. From the depths of Smoot Hollow to the natural outflow of Davidsons Blue Spring, the map illustrates a rural Missouri landscape defined by its hydrology and generational ties to the land.
