About this map

Hilda serves as the central point in this part of Taney County, surrounded by the deep drainages and steep summits of the Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek and the fluctuating shoreline of Bull Shoals Lake. Prominent high points like Lower Pilot Knob, Upper Pilot Knob, and Coy Bald rise above the many hollows that feed into larger streams like Brushy Creek and Cedar Creek.

Evidence of early community life is preserved through several family and church cemeteries, including the Lone Pilgrim Cem and the Blair Cem. Spiritual life is anchored by locations such as the Chapel of the Ozarks and New Machon Ch. Notable ridges like Blair Ridge and Lime Kiln Mountain offer a clear view of the complex Ozark topography, while the Hilda Lookout Tower and Hercules Lookout Tower provide strategic vantage points over the timbered terrain.
