About this map

McNatt and Plainview anchor this portion of McDonald County, where the Ozark landscape is defined by a complex network of deeply incised drainage systems. The map traces the winding course of Indian Creek and Big Sugar Creek, which have carved out numerous distinct basins including Hambrich Hollow and Big Cedar Hollow. Notable topographic landmarks such as Coal Mine Hill and Salt Lick Gap suggest a history of resource extraction and strategic movement through the terrain.

Transportation in the early 21st century follows the contours of the land, with rural routes like McNatt Rd and Plainview Rd connecting isolated settlements. Smaller named locales like Erie and Wylie appear alongside geographical features that likely held significance for early settlers, such as McCullough Ford and Mud Springs Hollow. The intricate naming of these hollows, from Thief Hollow to Hungry Hollow, provides a window into the localized nomenclature of this Missouri backcountry.
