About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates the western portion of this Missouri landscape, where the rugged topography of the Ozark Plateau is carved by a dense network of drainages. Rural life in this corner of Bollinger County is defined by small crossroads settlements and a high concentration of community landmarks. Landmarks such as Younts Store and Tallent anchor the map, while spiritual and ancestral history is preserved at sites like Old Concord Ch, Pleasant Valley Ch, and Old Concord Cem.

The hydrography of the region is intricate, with Crooked Creek and Whitewater Creek fed by numerous local runs like Summers Creek and Strum Branch. The convergence of Hurricane Fork and Hurricane Creek near the settlement of Hurricane illustrates a settlement pattern dictated by the valleys. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family-named sites, including Slinkard Cem, Berry Cem, and McMahan Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of these hollows.
