About this map

The Current River meanders through the Ozark landscape of Dent and Shannon Counties, anchoring a network of small settlements and river crossings. This mid-century topography reveals a social geography defined by local landmarks like Medlock Cave and the prominent Welch Spring north of the river bend. The community of Cedargrove serves as a central point where multiple hollows converge, including North Hollow and Razor Hollow.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented, showing a high density of country schools such as Jadwin Sch, Upper Parker Sch, and Lower Parker Sch, alongside remote places of worship like Street Chapel. The presence of several ferries at Akers and other river points highlights the reliance on water-based transit before the expansion of modern bridges. Genealogists can find localized data in sites like Halbrook Cem and Rector Cem, which sit near the eastern drainage of Gladden Creek and Mountain Valley.
