About this map

The Crystal Spring Fish Hatchery is a prominent industrial and hydrological fixture within this 1980s landscape, located near the center of the Missouri Ozarks terrain. The small community of Sweden serves as a southern anchor, while Basker marks the northern edge of the survey. The region is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including Hunter Creek, Bill Macks Creek, and Bryant Creek, which carve through ridges such as Peaky Ridge and Iron Mountain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family-named burial grounds and rural institutions. Significant landmarks include Star Chapel and Turkey Creek Ch, alongside numerous remote cemeteries like Billingly Cem, Dyer Cem, and Roper Cem. These sites, often positioned on the higher ground of Blackoak Flat or tucked into hollows like Josie Hollow, reflect the persistent 20th-century settlement patterns of Douglas County.
