2015 Map of Rocky Comfort

About this map

Rocky Comfort sits at the intersection of local history and the Ozark Plateau, where the headwaters of S Indian Cr and Shoal Cr carve a landscape of deep hollows. This rural expanse in southwest Missouri is defined by its topographic relief, featuring numerous named valleys such as Pigeon Roost Hollow, Chairbottom Hollow, and Kettle Hollow. The map provides a detailed record of the road network connecting small settlements like Ridgley and the outlying farms that characterize the Barry and McDonald County borders. Cultural landmarks are preserved through the locations of the Chitwood Cemetery and Creason Cemetery, alongside natural features like Christian Spring. The concentration of named hollows, including Sugarcamp Hollow and Reed Springs Hollow, reflects a long history of local land naming conventions tied to the region's complex drainage systems and settlement patterns.
