About this map

Scopus and Mayfield serve as the primary nodes of activity in this rural Bollinger County landscape, where the pattern of human settlement is deeply tied to the winding drainage of the Little Whitewater Cr and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Pulliam - Judge Long Cem and Limbaugh Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by a network of hollows and ridges, including Otter Slide Hollow and Camp Hollow, pointing toward a historically timber-driven or agricultural economy. Natural features like Stillhouse Spring and landmarks such as Buck Knob provide additional context for the local geography, while a spiderweb of county roads like Co RD 344 connects the scattered farmsteads and homes across the dissected plateau.
