2021 Map of Hurricane

About this map

Bollinger County's rural interior is defined by a series of small, interconnected settlements and numerous family and community cemeteries along the Ozark foothills. Small population centers like Tallent, Hurricane, and Shrum serve as anchors for a landscape etched by winding waterways such as Crooked Cr and Hurricane Cr. The map reveals a high density of spiritual and memorial sites, including the Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church Cem and the New Bethel Congregational Methodist Church Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of these Missouri communities. To the west, the boundaries of the Mark Twain National Forest begin to dominate the terrain as the elevation rises into the Saint Francois Mountains. This detailed survey captures the persistence of traditional land divisions and the road networks that link these remote hamlets, providing a comprehensive look at the region's cultural geography.
