About this map

Saint Francois Mountains terrain defines the northern reaches of this Wayne County landscape, where the headwaters of Bear Cr and McCabe Cr carve through deep hollows. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with Clubb and Hiram serving as central points connected by State Hwy C. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of rural burial grounds like Twidwell Cem and Graham Cem, along with community hubs such as Crossroads Church.

To the south, Lowndes sits near the junction of several drainage systems, including Goose Cr and the waters of Faulkner Spring. Much of the southwestern portion is protected as part of the Mark Twain National Forest, preserving the wooded character of the Ozark foothills. This area is characterized by numerous named topographic features like Sugarcamp Hollow and Big Branch Hollow, which indicate the local reliance on the timber and springs of the region.
