About this map

Eminence and West Eminence serve as the primary hubs in this region where the Current River and Jacks Fork converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep hollows, such as Coppermine Hollow and Dugan Hollow, which descend from ridges like Tip Top Mountain and Jerktail Mountain. This geography has long dictated the placement of transit and industry, evident in landmarks like Junction Ferry and Jerktail Landing.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the terrain, including Williams Cemetery, Bunch Cemetery, and the Chilton Cemetery. The presence of the Eminence Lookout Tower and unique hydrologic features like Ebb and Flow Spring reflect the character of a community deeply connected to its natural environment and resource management. Small infrastructure details like the Colwil Dam at Colvin Lake further illustrate local water management during the early 21st century.
