1968 Map of Raddle

About this map

Shawnee National Forest encompasses the rugged hills and creek valleys of this Jackson County survey, showcasing the dramatic transition from wooded uplands to the bottomlands of the Mississippi River floodplain. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows, including Matusky Hollow and Talbott Hollow, which drain toward the newly formed Kinkaid Lake. The map reveals a rural social geography centered on small crossroads and family lineage, evidenced by a high density of burial sites such as Koehn Cem, McBride Cem, and Wilson Cem.
