1968 Map of Handy

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Handy serves as a central point in this part of the Mark Twain National Forest, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows and karst features. The presence of Spout Spring Cave and several upland ponds like Cupola Pond and McFarland Pond reflects the unique hydrology of the Ozark Plateau. A mix of religious and communal life is anchored by Handy Ch and the Bristol Cem, while the nomenclature of the land—ranging from Stillhouse Hollow to Tram Hollow—hints at earlier eras of local production and timber transport. To the east, Big Burren Ch sits near the headwaters of Big Burren Creek, marking the sparse but persistent settlement pattern within the forest boundaries during the late 1960s.
