2017 Map of Edgehill

About this map

Middle Fork Black River carves a winding path through the Ozark landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and family-named hollows within the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documents a rural network of communities including Edgehill, Black, and Redmondville, where life historically centered on the river and the surrounding high ground of the Saint Francois Mountains. Numerous cemeteries such as Goggins Cem, Troutman Cem, and Luenbergen Cem are scattered across the terrain, offering significant genealogical value and marking the legacy of the area's early residents. The topographic detail highlights the deep-cut valleys of Goggins Hollow and Tucker Hollow, which define the drainage patterns feeding into the Brushy Cr and Carty Br. Along the southern edge, the Karkaghne Scenic Dr skirts the rising elevations of Goggins Mtn, illustrating the intersection of modern forestry management and the natural ridges of the region.
