About this map

Cane Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Tenmile Creek, carve through this section of Butler County, defining the local landscape and settlement patterns. The map shows a series of hollows that speak to the area's geography, from Grassy Hollow in the north to Old Still Hollow further south. Small community centers and named crossings are scattered throughout, including Stringtown, Milltown, and Halloran.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Sparkman Cemetery near Millers Bridge and the Houts Cemetery located along Procter Branch. The survey also documents recreation and seasonal sites such as Pine Grove Camp and Rushville Camp. Transportation is anchored by the presence of Nickey Bridge over the main creek and a network of county roads that connect these small Missouri settlements.
