About this map

Montauk Springs serves as the hydrological heart of this landscape, feeding the Current River as it winds through the Ozark National Scenic Riverway. This area at the convergence of Dent, Texas, and Shannon counties is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Hoosier Hollow, Dead Horse Hollow, and Krewson Hollow, which descend from the Salem Upland. The settlement pattern is largely rural and dispersed, with the small community of Montauk and the namesake Ashley Creek cluster serving as local focal points.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds like Patterson Cem, Cole Cem, and Ashley Creek Cem. The transition from upland ridges to river bottomland is marked by distinctive local landmarks such as Tan Vat Hole and a peculiar river bend known as The S Turn. The map documents a landscape where primitive roads and trails, like Pine Ridge Trl, continue to navigate the complex terrain of the Missouri Ozarks.
