About this map

Big Piney Creek and Illinois Bayou dominate the drainage of this Pope County landscape, which transitions from the northern ridges toward the town of Dover. The terrain is defined by a series of named elevations including Augsburg Mtn, Tater Knob, and Bald Knob, with small rural settlements like Augsburg and Piney situated along the valley floors. The distribution of small family burial grounds such as Adams Cem, Howard Cem, and Chesser Cem suggests a long-standing pattern of multi-generational land ownership and dispersed rural homesteading.
