2014 Map of Evening Shade

About this map

Evening Shade serves as the focal point of this terrain in Sharp County, where the settlement is positioned along the banks of Town Br. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Strawberry River and significant local relief like The Backbone, which creates a prominent ridge line south of the town center. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with family and community burial sites, including Evening Shade Cem, Fore Cem, Lafferty Cem, Barnes Cem, and Powell Cem. Hydrological features such as Lafferty Springs and the Blue Hole indicate the significance of natural water sources to the region's development and geography. The intricate road network, featuring names like Simstown Rd and Ridge Line Rd, traces the movement patterns of this Ozark foothills community.
