About this map

Current River drainage and the complex topography of the Ozark Highlands define this portion of Shannon County. The landscape is characterized by its significant karst features, most notably Round Spring, which sits within the Ozark National Scenic Riverway. The river is fed by a network of springs, including Cave Spring, Pulltite Spring, and the uniquely named Fire Hydrant Spring. Settlement is dispersed among named hollows and ridges, with small communities established at Timber and Ink.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, such as Weese Cem and Lone Pine - Platt Cem. Transportation in the area relies on a system of state highways and county roads like State Hwy EE, which bypasses deep drainages like Devils Well Hollow and Troublesome Hollow. The presence of the Haven Wood Airport north of Happy Hollow indicates modern utility in this traditionally agricultural and timber-producing region.
