About this map

The rugged hills of the Shawnee National Forest meet the Mississippi River lowlands in this detailed 1968 study. While much of the terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of Fountain Bluff and Jones Ridge, the human landscape is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor. The small settlement of Raddle sits near the tracks, while upland areas like Dry Hill and Glenn are home to remote schools and town buildings.

Water management and local heritage are central to this sheet, featuring the expansive Kinkaid Lake and several historic family burial grounds, including Wilson Cem and Koehn Cem. A notable archaeological feature, the Indian Mound, is located near the forest boundary, signaling a long history of human occupation in the river valley. The map also captures the industrial footprint of a Quarry and the utility of the Gaging Station along Kinkaid Creek.
