About this map

The community of Shook is the central settlement in this portion of Wayne County, positioned where Shook Cr flows toward the extensive northern reaches of Lake Wappapello. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and hollows, such as Nagle Hollow and Harper Hollow, much of which is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest. This 2017 survey reveals a rural area defined by its water sources and family legacies, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including Shiloh Cem and Helm Cem.

Transport and access are managed through a system of state and county roads, including State Hwy P and State Hwy D, while older landmarks like Davis School House Rd hint at former educational centers. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, from the high point of Childers Hill to the seasonal drainages of E Fork Lost Cr and W Fork Lost Cr that feed the local reservoir system.
