About this map

Jacket and Cove anchor this portion of the Ozark plateau at the McDonald Co and Barry Co line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges, where narrow roads follow the high ground or the path of descending waters. Prominent elevations like Oakleigh Mtn and Eggleston Mtn rise above deep drainages such as Big Sugar Creek and Greasy Creek.

The settlement pattern reflects the area's difficult topography, with homesteads and small communities established in pockets like Cracker Neck Hollow and along Pendergraff Hollow. Many family names are preserved in the local geography, including Woodard Hollow, Moore Hollow, and Washburn Hollow. This contemporary survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern road network, from State Hwy UU to remote forest routes, providing a clear record of how residents navigate this deeply dissected terrain today.
