Granite Bend and the surrounding reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest define this 2017 study of the Missouri Ozarks. The landscape is carved by numerous drainages, including Otter Cr, Eads Cr, and Williams Cr, which flow through heavily timbered ridges like Blackwell Ridge. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Meadors Cem in Meador Valley and the Gentry Cem near Handy Hollow. The map highlights a remote settlement pattern where small communities and family landmarks like Childs Hollow and Pleasant Valley are linked by a network of forest roads and state routes. This survey reflects the persistence of traditional land names within protected federal forest boundaries in Wayne County.
