About this map

Stringtown and Milltown anchor this Butler County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows and creek branches. Within the Mark Twain National Forest, the topography transitions through family-named landmarks like Gobbler Hollow and Mallady Hollow. The settlement pattern is largely rural and dispersed, centered around historic community focal points such as Flatwoods School, Victory School, and the Sparkman Cem and Houts Cem.

Water plays a critical role in the area's geography, with Cane Creek and Tenmile Creek cutting through the hills. Infrastructure like Nickey Bridge and Millers Bridge provide essential crossings for the local road network, which includes State Hwy PP and State Hwy M. From the elevations of Oak Ridge to the low-lying Wet Slash Hollow, the map documents a portion of Missouri where timber and small-scale agriculture have long defined the local economy.
