2014 Map of Strickler

About this map

The Ozark National Forest covers much of this landscape at the border of Washington and Crawford counties. Small settlements like Strickler, Onda, and Floss are connected by a network of winding roads such as Bug Scuffle Rd and Zinnamon Church Rd. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Wattle Hollow, Chambers Hollow, and Coal Bank Hollow, which drain into the Illinois River and Cove Cr. Genealogists will find several small burial grounds including Scott Cem, Baker Cem, and Dunkard Cem tucked into the hillsides. A notable landmark in the southeastern corner is the Devils Den Natural Bridge, indicating the area's geological diversity. The mapping shows a persistent pattern of rural life where homesteads and small communities are integrated into the ridges and creek valleys of the Ozarks.
