1951 Map of Cedargrove

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Current River carves a deep path through the southern half of this 1951 survey, defining the landscape of Dent and Shannon counties. The terrain is a network of ridges and hollows, such as Parker Hollow and Coal Hollow, where small communities and family farms established themselves. The settlement of Cedargrove sits at a prominent bend in the river, serving as a focal point in a region characterized by remote schools and churches. Local social life and education were highly localized, evidenced by the distribution of one-room schoolhouses like Upper Parker Sch and Lower Parker Sch. This period shows a quiet Ozark Highlands interior before modern infrastructure transformed the area, where landmarks like Medlock Cave and the waters of Welch Spring provided natural points of interest. The map serves as a detailed record of the rural Ozarks, preserving the locations of vanished landmarks like Jadwin Ch and the South Cross Roads Sch that once anchored these hollows.
