About this map

Hector serves as the central hub of this Pope County landscape, where the street grid of Elm St, Pine St, and Maple St meets State Hwy 27. To the north, the terrain rises into the Ozark National Forest, defined by significant elevations like White Oak Mtn and the historic Peterman Lookout Tower. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Illinois Bayou and its many tributaries, including Dare Cr and Clear Cr.

Smaller rural communities such as Walnut Grove, Caglesville, and Buttermilk are scattered across the southern and central sections, often anchored by family-named landmarks and resting places like Kinslow Cem, Tate Cem, and Crossroads Cem. The presence of the Moreland Gas Field in the southwest and several reservoir sites, such as the West Fork Point Remove Creek Site nine Reservoir, indicates the region's managed natural resources and energy infrastructure during this era.
