2017 Map of Cherokee Pass

About this map

Cherokee Pass serves as a central hub in this Madison County landscape, situated along a prominent north-south transit corridor flanked by the dense woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of ridges and hollows, such as Old Mines Hollow and Wildcat Springs Hollow, which reflect the region's historical ties to small-scale extraction and spring-fed settlements. Small rural communities like Zion are identified alongside a network of family cemeteries, including Revelle Cem and Antioch Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in the Missouri Ozarks. Water plays a vital role in the geography here, with the headwaters of Twelvemile Cr and Middle Fork Big Cr carving through the terrain near landmarks like Little Matthews Mtn and Whitehurst Lake.
