2021 Map of Yancy Mills

About this map

Yancy Mills and the small settlement of Vida serve as the primary points of human congregation in this portion of the Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Piney Creek and its many tributaries, including Corn Creek and Beaver Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the survey identifies several significant burial sites, most notably the Wright Slave Cem, reflecting the early social history of the region. The map also documents a number of family-named cemeteries such as George Lane Cem, Allen Cem, and Peck Cem, alongside the Old Philadelphia Baptist Church. This detailed record shows the persistence of small family plots and rural congregations throughout Phelps County and into Dent County. The presence of the Lane Springs Rec Area highlights the intersection of the river system with the managed forest lands of the Missouri Ozarks.
