2015 Map of Jane

About this map

Big Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Creek carve a series of deep hollows through the Missouri Ozarks in this recent 2015 study of southern McDonald County. The settlement at Jane serves as a central hub, where the landscape transitions from the river bottomlands to prominent elevations such as Polk Mtn and Tatter Knob. The map documents a blend of established communities like Pineville and smaller, named localities such as Sugar Beach and Cyclone. The terrain is defined by its many water-crossing points, including Meadors Ford and Deep Ford, which reflect the historic travel patterns of the region. Notable topographic landmarks such as White Rock Bluff and Clemens Bluff overlook the winding creek beds, while numerous named hollows like Miser Hollow and Green Hollow provide a detailed look at the local geography. The layout of rural roads, such as Skaggs Hollow Rd and Cyclone Rd, traces the narrow ridges and valley floors between the bluffs.
