2015 Map of Huzzah

About this map

Huzzah Creek and Courtois Creek wind through this heavily forested landscape within the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a rural Ozark terrain characterized by numerous named hollows and springs, such as Hickman Spring and Westover Spring. For the family historian, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of isolated burial sites, including Gibbs Cemetery, Dodkin Cemetery, and Sanders Cemetery. Small settlements like Service and Westover are centered around the local waterways, with the Westover Fisheries representing a distinct commercial land use near the banks of Dry Creek. The landscape is further defined by narrow passages in the topography, identified as the Lower Narrows and Upper Narrows, where the creeks have cut deep into the hillsides.
