2017 Map of Hurley

About this map

Union City and the small crossroads of Possum Trot anchor this portion of the Ozark plateau where the borders of Christian and Stone counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the James River and its numerous tributaries, including Dry Crane Cr and Silver Lake Br. Topographical features such as the Hootentown Natural Arch and Hooten Hill provide distinctive landmarks for those tracing the river valley. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Wright Cem, White Cem, and the Wright Chapel Cem located near the river's bend. The area's transit history is visible through the Hootentown Bridge and the McCall Bridge, reflecting the essential crossings that connected isolated rural communities like Hurley and White City.
