About this map

Fountain Bluff and the rugged forestlands of Jackson County define this landscape along the eastern edge of the Mississippi River floodplain. The area is dominated by the Shawnee National Forest, where the terrain is heavily dissected by numerous drainages including Matusky Hollow, Logan Hollow, and Talbott Hollow. Settlement is clustered on the lower ground near the Levee, with small communities like Raddle, Glenn, and Crain serving as focal points for local history.

Genealogists can trace a high density of family burial grounds scattered through the timber, including Wilson Cemetery, McBride Cemetery, and McCormick Cemetery. The presence of an Indian Mound near Talbott Cemetery indicates a long history of human habitation predating modern surveying. Meanwhile, the Johnson Creek Recreation Area and various boat ramps along Kinkaid Creek highlight the mid-century shift toward federal land management and conservation.
