About this map

Indian Creek and Elkhorn Creek carve a network of steep hollows through this portion of McDonald County, shaping a landscape defined by its narrow valleys and high ridges. The settlement of McNatt sits at a central confluence of these waterways, while smaller communities like Plainview, Moral, and Wylie anchor the surrounding rural highlands. The terrain is marked by descriptive place names such as Coal Mine Hill and Salt Lick Gap, which hint at the traditional resource-based activities of the region.

To the south, Big Sugar Creek passes through Big Cedar Hollow near the landmark McCullough Ford. The mapping of Numerous hollows, including Peach Orchard Hollow and Hungry Hollow, reveals a complex local geography where transportation followed the natural contours of the land. This survey provides a clear view of the Missouri Ozarks' rural character, from the small clusters of buildings at Erie to the remote reaches of Thief Hollow.
