2021 Map of Johnson Shut-Ins

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this section of the Saint Francois Mountains, where the E Fork Black River cuts through the high relief of the Missouri Ozarks. Small family cemeteries like the Johnston Family Cem and Fitzgerald Cem are tucked into the drainages of Cope Hollow and Womble Hollow, providing essential coordinates for genealogists. The settlement of Monterey sits at a crossroads along State Hwy MM, while Munger is positioned near the northern county line. This 2021 survey shows a landscape heavily defined by its recreation and water management infrastructure, including the Lower Reservoir and the Scour Trl, a feature that marks the site of the Taum Sauk reservoir breach and the subsequent geological scouring of the valley floor. High elevations like Proffit Mtn and Church Mtn hem in the river valley, which is crisscrossed by the extensive Ozark Trl system.
