2014 Map of Huff

About this map

Pleasant Plains and the rural hills of southern Independence County characterize this survey, where the landscape transitions through a series of named hollows and peaks. The map detail highlights several family-named landmarks including Uncle Joe Warren Mountain and Major Harris Mountain, alongside geological features like Wildcat Bluff. Small-scale agricultural and community history is preserved through the location of several burial grounds, such as Huff Cemetery and Riddles Cemetery, which are scattered among the drainages of Departee Creek and Village Creek. This network of creeks, including Dog Lick Branch and Shoat Brook, defines the local topography and historical settlement patterns before modern developments altered these drainages.
