About this map

Huzzah Creek and Courtois Creek wind through the timbered hills of the Mark Twain National Forest in this late 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its water, from the Fish Hatchery at Westover to the numerous springs like Hickman Spring and Gibbs Spring that feed the local drainages. Geologic and geographic features like the Lower Narrows and Upper Narrows mark the rugged passage of the creek through the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of rural life and community history is scattered throughout the valleys, with Huzzah Ch and Berryman Ch serving local residents. Family history is preserved at numerous small burial grounds, including Gibbs Cem, Keener Cem, Dodkin Cem, and Hafter Cem. The presence of the Westover Lookout Tower and the Richter State Wildlife Area highlights the area's role in conservation and forest management during this period.
