1965 Map of Powder Mill Ferry

About this map

The Current River carves a deep path through Shannon County in this mid-1960s survey, defined by its intricate network of spring-fed tributaries and limestone features. This reach of the river is notable for the Powder Mill Ferry, a vital crossing point near the convergence of Mill Creek and Powder Mill Spring. The karst topography of the Ozarks is on full display here, with numerous subterranean systems such as Marvel Cave, Blair Creek Cave, and Powder Mill Creek Cave documented alongside prominent water sources like Blue Spring and Clint Williams Spring.
