2015 Map of Hilda

About this map

Hilda sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the wooded expanses of the Mark Twain National Forest. The topography is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, where Beaver Creek and Long Creek carve through the Missouri terrain. Family history is etched into the map through numerous burial grounds such as Bray Cemetery, Lone Pilgrim Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery, which serve as markers of early settlement patterns in Taney County. High points like Lower Pilot Knob, Upper Pilot Knob, and Coy Bald provide natural landmarks, while Lime Kiln Mountain suggests historical land use. This survey illustrates the intricate layout of rural routes, including Rockin MN Ranch Road and Cane Creek Road, that connect these isolated settlements and family plots within the forest boundaries.
