2017 Map of Williamsville

About this map

Williamsville serves as the primary hub in this Ozark foothills landscape, situated just north of a sharp bend in the Black River. This 2017 survey details the complex terrain where the river valleys meet the high ridges of the Mark Twain National Forest, such as Cane Ridge and High Ridge. Settlement is clustered around family-named hollows and historic springs, most notably Markham Spring and Essman Spring. The presence of several rural burial grounds, including Holladay Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Miller Creek Cem, provides significant data for genealogical research. The map also documents modern land use alongside older landmarks, showing the proximity of Faries Field and the Rolling Shoals Farm Airport to the established community at Keeners. The winding routes of State HWY JJ and various forest roads like Pine Cone Rd connect these isolated hollows and landmarks like Keener Cave, illustrating the enduring transportation patterns of Wayne Co and Butler Co.
