2017 Map of Stone Hill

About this map

Howes Mill and Stone Hill anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri Ozarks region within the Mark Twain National Forest. The topography is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Bell Hollow, Levi Hollow, and MacIntire Hollow, which channel various branches toward the Meramec River and Sinking Cr. This 2017 survey reveals the quiet persistence of historic community sites, evidenced by the concentration of family and school burial grounds like the Nelson Schoolyard Graveyard and Parker Cem. To the south, the terrain descends into Scotia Valley, a distinctive pocket containing Scotia Pond and Little Scotia Pond. The map also traces modern transit corridors such as State Hwy 8 and the Karkaughne Scenic Dr as they navigate the ridges and gaps between Dent and Reynolds counties.
