About this map

Buckhart and Vanzant anchor a network of small crossroads communities across Douglas County, Missouri, during this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Brush Creek and its West Fork, which carve through the high ground of White Ridge and Nye Ridge. These ridges served as natural corridors for early development, now followed by local routes like CO RD-256 and CO RD-263.

Genealogists will find several burial sites well-documented, including Tedrick Cemetery near the West Fork and Clifty Cemetery in the northeastern corner. Named hollows such as Toothpick Hollow and Pedro Hollow illustrate the localized naming traditions of the Ozark plateau. The map details the rural character of the region, where tiny settlements like Drury and Holtville persist alongside significant landmarks like Twin Knobs and Campbell Hill.
