About this map

Dry Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Campbell Br and Humes Cr, carve a complex network of hollows across this Missouri landscape. The area is defined by small upland settlements such as Rhyse, Ranger, Coulstone, and Joy, connected by a web of county roads like CR-2500 and CR-6040. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain dominated by named topographical features, including Smoky Hollow, Coon Den Hollow, and Grave Hollow.

Genealogists will find this map particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Numerous family and community graveyards are preserved here, such as the Fudge Family Cemetery, Mount Hermon Cemetery, and Woolford Cemetery. The inclusion of landmarks like Skiles Spring and the Salem Upland conservation area provides a clear view of the rural character of Dent County, where natural water sources and steep drainage patterns dictated the placement of original homesteads and cemeteries.
