2011 Map of Cherokee Pass

About this map

Cherokee Pass and Central anchor this Madison County landscape, where the headwaters of Twelvemile Creek and East Fork Big Creek carve through a terrain of named hollows and peaks. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by numerous family and church burial grounds including Revelle Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Settle Cemetery. The geographic layout is defined by prominent elevations such as Matthews Mountain and Clemons Mountain, which separate the various creek valleys. Transportation is dictated by the winding paths of county roads like Madison 411 and Madison 302, which follow the natural contours of the land. Notable landmarks like Whitehurst Lake and Old Mines Hollow suggest a history of resource use and land management in this portion of the Missouri Ozarks.
