About this map

Yancy Mills P O sits at the heart of this Ozark landscape, where the confluence of Little Piney Creek and Gourd Creek shaped the early development of Phelps County. The terrain is defined by its extensive hollows and ridges, managed largely within the Mark Twain National Forest. Local history is preserved in a network of rural institutions, from the Ben Fore Sch in the northwest to the Rhea Ch and Rhea Cem in the east.

Industry and recreation intersect throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the Moselle Mine (Inactive) and the Pilot Knob Lookout atop Pilot Knob. Significant conservation efforts are visible in the Beaver Creek Consv Area and the Richard F Clement Memorial Conservation and Wildlife Area. For the genealogist, smaller family-named landmarks like Brookshire Cem and Huskey Cem offer precise locations for tracing ancestral roots in this rugged Missouri corridor.
