About this map

Jacks Fork winds through the heart of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, carving a landscape of dramatic river bluffs and deep hollows. The river is flanked by prominent landmarks like Bee Bluff and Chalk Bluff, while Jam Up Cave sits as a significant geological feature near the confluence of Jam Up Cr. This terrain is characterized by its complex hydrology, including Rumer Spring and numerous pronged tributaries such as N Prong Leatherwood Cr and S Prong Leatherwood Cr.

Tracing family history in this portion of Shannon County is aided by several recorded burial sites, including Dyer Cemetery in the north and the Turkey Oak Cemetery and Duncan Cemetery further south. The settlement of Birch Tree appears in the lower southeast corner, connected by a network of county roads like Co Road 60-483 that navigate the ridges and gaps. From Angel Ridge to Jenny Ridge, the map documents a territory defined by its ridges and the named hollows between them.
