1950 Map of Yancy Mills

About this map

Yancy Mills and the small settlement of Vida anchor this mid-century look at the Ozark highlands of Phelps Co and Dent Co. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Piney Creek, which carved a complex network of hollows and ridges such as Coalpit Hollow and Kitchen Hollow. Rural life is etched into the topography through a concentration of community landmarks, including Mt Zion Ch and Philadelphia Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds like Huskey Cem and Brookshire Cem.
