About this map

Viburnum sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the extensive industrial infrastructure of the Lead Belt. The map documents several significant mining-related water features, including the Old Viburnum Tailings Pond, Intermediate Viburnum Tailings Pond, and the Viburnum Tailings Disposal Reservoir. These massive impoundments contrast with the traditional rural character of the surrounding Mark Twain National Forest.

Tracing the waterways and hollows reveals a deep-rooted local history, with numerous family burial grounds such as Chandler Cem, Abbott Cem, and Thompson Cem scattered throughout the valleys of Courtois Cr and Indian Cr. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the winding path of the Ozark Trail - Middle Fork, which follows the drainage of Neals Cr near the settlement of Bixby. The layout of the region is defined by these topographical hollows, including Payne Hollow and Beasley Hollow, which have long shaped the placement of roads and homesteads.
