1992 Map of Rhyse

About this map

Rhyse and the surrounding Dent County landscape are defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and winding creek beds, as shown in this late 20th-century survey. The settlement pattern is largely rural and dispersed, anchored by family-named landmarks and local congregations like Mt Hermon Ch and New Harmony Ch. A significant portion of the southwestern quadrant is dedicated to the Montauk State Public Hunting Area, where the Lookout Tower Zion stands as a prominent topographical feature. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial sites including Robnett Cem, Campbell Cem, and Wallace Cem. The map tracks the movement of water from Skiles Spring through various drainages such as Barnitz Creek and Humes Creek, illustrating a rugged Ozark terrain where roads often follow the high ridges or parallel the creek beds.
