About this map

Yancy Mills and Vida serve as the primary markers of human settlement in this portion of the Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Piney Creek, which is fed by numerous springs and branches including Lane Spring and Yancy Spring. For genealogists, this 2015 survey is remarkably dense with burial sites, featuring over a dozen named cemeteries.

Of particular historical note is the Wright Slave Cemetery located near the boundary between Phelps Co and Dent Co. The map also captures the Old Philadelphia Baptist Church/Fore Cemetery and family-named locations such as Pecks Cemetery and George Lane Cemetery. These points of interest are connected by a network of rural routes like Mount Zion Church Rd and Pilot Knob Church Rd, tracing the hollows and ridges of the northern Ozark highlands.
