2011 Map of Hurricane

About this map

Crooked Creek and its many tributaries, including Huffmans Creek and Punch Creek, define the drainage patterns of this rural Missouri landscape. Scattered settlements like Tallent, Loyd, and Hurricane serve as local anchors connected by a network of county roads. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Old Concord Cemetery, Slinkard Cemetery, and Berry Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The topography is marked by localized features like Diddle Hill and Gum Hollow, while larger water bodies like Shaw Lake provide rare open water. This 2011 survey illustrates a region where land use remains primarily agricultural or forested, following the natural contours of the creek beds and ridges that have shaped Bollinger County's rural identity for generations.
