About this map

Pinnacle Lake and its namesake landmark The Pinnacle dominate the central topography of this mid-1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep hollows like Mary White Hollow. To the south, the Loutre River meanders through the terrain near the sprawling Daniel Boone Memorial State Forest, where the Boone Lookout Tower stands as a prominent navigation point.

Industry and local history are etched into the map through numerous Claypits and Quarries dotting the Danville and Bridgeport townships. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, recording several family-named burial grounds including Snethen Cem, Patton Cem, and Uthlaut Cem. Small rural settlements like Hugo and Millam anchor the local road network, while the presence of Big Spring and various creek branches like Whippoorwill Branch highlight the importance of water sources in this Missouri river-border region.
