About this map

Milltown and Stringtown anchor this 2017 survey of Butler County, Missouri, where the landscape is defined by the northern reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of narrow valleys and ridges, marked by evocatively named terrain such as Old Still Hollow, Smoky Hollow, and Gobbler Hollow. These hollows feed into several significant watercourses, including Cane Creek and Tenmile Creek.

Evidence of the area's rural social structure is preserved through family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Sparkman Cem and Houts Cem. Transport across this portion of the Ozark foothills is managed through a web of county roads and state routes, including State Hwy PP and State Hwy TT. For outdoor recreation, the Victory Horse Trail provides access through the forest near Mallady Hollow, while smaller impoundments like Beaver Lake and Karls Lake dot the drainage basins.
