About this map

The Current River carves through the heart of the Ozark National Scenic Riverway in this contemporary record of Dent and Shannon Counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic karst topography, featuring numerous deep ravines and hollows such as Razor Hollow, Wolf Hollow, and Parker Hollow. These narrow valleys serve as natural conduits for the region's hydrology, including the notable Welch Spring and Schiefer Spring. Small, remote settlements like Jadwin, Cedargrove, and Rector are scattered across the higher ground and river terraces, often connected by winding county roads and state highways.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by a series of rural cemeteries, including Derryberry Cem, Medlock Cem, and Street Cem, which mark the centers of historical community life. The distribution of these sites alongside ephemeral drainages like Gladden Creek and Morton Br illustrates the historical reliance on these water sources for upland farming and timbering. This map provides a detailed view of the Missouri Ozarks' protected river corridors and the enduring footprints of its early homesteads.
