About this map

The Shawnee National Forest dominates the southern half of this Jackson County landscape, characterized by the winding valleys of Cave Creek and Bear Creek. A significant landmark of the region is the Pomona Natural Bridge, located just north of the village of Pomona. The terrain transitions from these wooded hills to the more developed edges of Carbondale in the northeast, where Pleasant Grove Memorial Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem lie near the city's suburban expansion.

Smaller rural hubs such as Etherton and Poplar Ridge are anchored by family and community cemeteries, including the Hiller-Crab Orchard Cem and Etherton Cem. These sites, along with names like Dutch Ridge and Kite Hill, reflect the long-standing agricultural and family settlements that define the area between the rugged forest tracts and the larger municipal centers. Water features such as Cedar Lake and Little Crab Orchard Creek illustrate the drainage patterns that have shaped local land use for generations.
