About this map

Viburnum anchors the northeastern corner of this survey, serving as a hub for the local mining economy evidenced by nearby Tailings Ponds and a Burlington Northern rail spur. Much of the surrounding landscape is encompassed by the Mark Twain National Forest, where the terrain is deeply etched by the West Fork Huzzah Creek and East Fork Huzzah Creek.

Small settlements like Dillard and Boss reflect the area's rural character, connected by routes that follow the natural contours of many namesake hollows. Genealogists will find a significant number of family-associated sites, including Dillard Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Fiebelman Cem. The map also captures remnants of earlier industry and transport, such as Charcoal Kilns and an Old Railroad Grade north of James Branch, documenting the evolving usage of this forested region during the mid-to-late 20th century.
