About this map

Peace Valley and the small settlement of Fanchon occupy this pocket of Howell County within the Courtois Hills. The landscape is defined by its complex karst topography, characterized by numerous named depressions and valleys such as Walnut Sink Hollow, Chalk Hole Valley, and Lost Pond Hollow. These features reflect a subterranean drainage system common to the Ozark Plateau, where water often moves through sinkholes rather than surface channels.

The Eleven Point River and its Middle Fork carve through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. Smaller water features like Blowing Springs and the Watered Fork provide essential water sources in a region where surface flow can be intermittent. A network of county roads, including Co RD 2000 and Co RD 1740, connects the scattered farmsteads and valleys, tracing the natural contours of the land through Snow Hollow and Gunters Valley.
