About this map

Bryant Creek flows through the center of this Ozark landscape, carving a network of deep hollows and ridges across the Douglas and Ozark county line. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape defined by its springs and historic community nodes, including the settlements of Rockbridge, Souder, and Brixey. The rugged topography is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Walker Knob and Graham Knob, while the local history is preserved in small rural cemeteries like Souder Cemetery and Bushong Cemetery.

Named features like McCord Mill Hollow and Cotton Patch Hollow suggest a legacy of early industry and subsistence, while the presence of Assumption Abbey Cemetery and Yates Cemetery provides vital points of reference for genealogists. The intricate drainage of Spring Creek and Brixey Creek into the main branch of the Bryant reflects the classic hydrology of the Missouri Ozarks, where numerous named springs like Trimble Spring and Coon Den Spring once supported isolated mountain farmsteads.
