1951 Map of Kaintuck Hollow

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Phelps County, where the rugged topography of the Ozarks is defined by deep drainages and spring-fed streams. The map reveals a dispersed rural community organized around water sources and small social centers, such as Mill Creek Ch and Kaintuck Ch. Notable hydrological features include Wilkins Spring and Yelton Spring, which feed into Mill Creek. The surveyor's notes indicate the shifting nature of local education and infrastructure during this period, marking the Western Star Sch (Abandoned) while several other schoolhouses remain active. Strategic vantage points are established at the Knotwell Lookout Tower and Corn Creek Lookout Tower, serving as vital fire-watch stations for the surrounding timberlands. Distinctive geological formations like the Natural Bridge and King Sink further characterize the karst-heavy environment of this drainage basin.
