About this map

Union City and Possum Trot anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri Ozarks region, where the terrain is deeply carved by a network of creeks and hollows. The James River snakes through the eastern section, crossed by the Hootentown Bridge near the striking Hootentown Natural Arch. This 2015 survey reveals a rural infrastructure defined by scattered family-named cemeteries and springs, including Wright Cemetery, Short Cemetery, and the notable Jumbo Spring.

Tracing the path of Crane Creek toward the southwest, the map shows the settlement of Hurley and the outlying White City. The drainage patterns, represented by features like McCullah Hollow and Sugar Camp Hollow, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Stone and Christian county line. For genealogists, the density of named cemeteries and the proximity of small crossroads communities provide essential spatial context for 21st-century family history research.
