2015 Map of Rockbridge

About this map

Bryant Creek carves a deep path through this portion of the Ozark Plateau, where the border between Douglas County and Ozark County follows the high ground of Douglas Ridge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of named hollows and ridges, many bearing the names of early local families such as John Smith Hollow, Harvey Hollow, and Eli Hollow. The settlement of Rockbridge serves as a focal point near the confluence of Brixey Creek and Spring Creek, while smaller communities like Souder and Bertha are tucked away along the winding county road system. Notable terrain features like Devils Backbone and Walker Knob punctuate the ridges, illustrating the complex topography of this rural region. The map also identifies local landmarks for genealogists, including the Yates Cemetery and several natural water sources like Columbus Spring and Coon Den Spring.
