About this map

Ozark National Scenic Riverways protects the southern reach of this landscape, where the karst topography of Shannon County is on full display. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Spring Valley Cr and Casto Valley Cr, which have carved numerous deep hollows into the plateau. Of particular interest to geologists and local historians is the Forty Acre Sinkhole, a massive natural depression that highlights the subterranean drainage patterns of the region.

Remote family landmarks and water sources are scattered throughout the hills, from Cave Spring to the Black Pond Cem located near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map details a complex web of county roads, such as Co RD 106-B and State Hwy D, providing access to isolated landmarks like Standing Rock Hollow and Peter Cave Hollow. The land use appears primarily rural and conservation-oriented, preserving the namesake valleys and the headwaters of Bay Cr.
