About this map

Couch and the small settlement of Jeff anchor this portrait of the Ozark foothills in Oregon County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, reflecting a deeply carved topography where water sources were historically vital for homesteads. Significant natural springs like Underwood Spring, Duncan Spring, and Eldorado Spring are scattered across the terrain, feeding numerous creek systems such as Cox Cr and Frederick Cr.

For family historians, the presence of several established burial grounds provides concrete points of reference for local genealogy. Union Hill Cem sits along E Walnut St, while others like Norman Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Davis Cem are positioned near family-named landmarks like Hoag Hollow and Helms Hollow. The map also captures the intricate web of county roads and distinctive terrain features, such as Hospen Ridge and the ominously named Dead Dutchman Hollow, that have shaped the rural character of this region for generations.
