About this map

Hurley and the rural communities of Christian County are captured here along the banks of Spring Creek and Crane Creek. This portion of Missouri is defined by a dense network of hollows and springs, where family names are etched into the landscape at McCullah Hollow and Smith Brown Hollow. The map reveals the local importance of water sources such as Hayes Spring and Jumbo Spring, which historically dictated the placement of settlements like Union City and White City.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Wright Cemetery and Short Cemetery, providing specific coordinates for ancestral research. The path of the James River winds through the eastern side, crossed by the McCall Bridge and Hootentown Bridge. The map also documents the transition from early rural life to modern access, with the S Rail St corridor in Hurley and numerous county roads like Richwood School House Rd and Kimberlin Mill Rd connecting scattered farmsteads and the local School.
