USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Oakwood Bottoms and the winding course of the Big Muddy River dominate this landscape within the Shawnee National Forest. The 1948 geography reveals a complex hydraulic environment where the river creates dramatic meanders like Horseshoe Bend, Mill Bend, and Cripps Bend before reaching the Mississippi floodplain. Human activity is concentrated along the rail lines and at the base of prominent rises like Fountain Bluff.
