About this map

Kaintuck Hollow Natural Bridge serves as a primary geological landmark within this heavily wooded section of the Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by its karst topography, featuring numerous hollows and distinct karst landforms such as King Sink and Smoky Hollow. This area is characterized by an extensive network of water sources, including Mill Cr, Wilkins Spring, and Elm Spring, which likely supported early settlement and agricultural efforts in the region.

For those researching family history, the map identifies several rural burial sites that reflect the lineage of the Phelps County backcountry. Small family and community plots such as the Cook Western Star Cem, May Hoffmann Cem, and Yowell Cem are situated along the winding paths of State Hwy AA and State Highway T, providing concrete points of reference for genealogical study within the deep hollows of the Ozarks.
