About this map

Little Piney Creek carves a deep valley through the heart of this terrain, where the northern reaches of the Ozarks meet the expansive Mark Twain National Forest. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape defined by its cemeteries and small clearings, with the settlement of Yancy Mills situated near the intersection of Little Piney Creek and Yancy Spring. Further north, the community of Vida sits along State Rte W, surrounded by a network of drainage features like Iron Ore Cr and Treable Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that reflect the region's complex social history. In addition to family plots such as Huskey Cem and George Lane Cem, the survey identifies the Wright Slave Cem and the Old Philadelphia Baptist Church/Fore Cem. These landmarks, along with high points like Pilot Knob, provide specific geographic anchors for tracing family roots and rural church history across the border of Phelps Co and Dent Co.
