2012 Map of Jacket

About this map

Big Sugar Creek winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant drainage for the surrounding hills of McDonald County. The tiny settlements of Jacket and Mayflower anchor the southern reaches of the map, while Cove is positioned in the northwest. This area is defined by a complex network of hollows, including Pendergraff Hollow and Cracker Neck Hollow, which illustrate the deep dissection of the terrain by tributaries like Brush Creek and Trent Creek. In the eastern half, the prominence of Oakleigh Mountain and Eggleston Mountain rises above the valley of Greasy Creek. A intricate system of forest roads and local routes, such as Flag Springs Rd and Spook Rd, connects these isolated valleys and ridges, reflecting the rural character and topographic constraints of the region in the early 21st century.
