About this map

The town of Viburnum and the nearby community of Boss anchor this 2011 survey of the Missouri Ozarks. This area is characterized by a complex network of hollows and drainage basins, most notably Huzzah Creek and its various forks, which have shaped the local settlement patterns. Significant industrial activity is evident in the southeast corner near Red Point, marked by the Moloc Smelter and the Amax Impoundment A Dam, reflecting the region's mining heritage.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Dillard Cemetery, Fiabelman Cemetery, Hedrick Cemetery, and Richards Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Dillard Hill down into the narrow valleys of Chandler Hollow and Tinker Hollow. Infrastructure like the Viburnum Airport and various county roads, such as Dillard Mill Rd, provides a clear view of how these remote communities remained connected into the twenty-first century.
