1968 Map of Jam Up Cave

About this map

Jacks Fork River winds through the heart of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways on this map, documenting a landscape defined by its deep hollows and subterranean geology. The presence of numerous named caverns, including Jam Up Cave, Peter Renfro Cave, and Sycamore Cave, highlights the area's karst topography. The high ridges surrounding Spring Valley are marked by early homesteading traces and family-named cemeteries such as Dyer Cem and Turkey Oak Cem. The small settlement of Low Gap and landmarks like Chalk Bluff and Red Bluff illustrate the remote, river-dependent development of Shannon County. Hydrological features such as Rymer Spring and Gilmore Pond provide reliable water sources in a terrain dominated by names reflecting past industry and flora, such as Stillhouse Hollow and Sugar Tree Hollow.
