About this map

The Black River winds through the heart of this Butler County landscape, defining a complex system of riverine features and lowland pastures. The river's serpentine path is marked by distinctive points like Hammons Bend, Buttermilk Bend, and the ominously named Deadmans Bend. This hydrologic network is further complicated by numerous sloughs and eddies, including Catherine Slough and Marshall Eddy, which illustrate the dynamic nature of the local drainage system.

Settlement patterns center on small communities and family-named landmarks. The village of Morocco sits in the northwest, near the Morocco Cemetery, while Hanleyville and Mayberry occupy the eastern reaches. Local genealogy is supported by the presence of the Ashcraft Cemetery and Hills Cemetery. Notable land tracts such as Doolens Pasture and Hayes Field sit between the rising elevations of the Caledonia Hills and Ash Hills, showing how agricultural use follows the terrain.
