1968 Map of The Sinks

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sinks serves as a prominent natural landmark where Sinking Creek enters a limestone subterranean passage, a defining geological feature of this Shannon County landscape. The area is heavily marked by intricate drainages and family-named landmarks like Mauser Mill and the Heaton Cem, reflecting the early rural settlement patterns within the Mark Twain National Forest. The 1968 field survey, updated in the mid-1980s, captures a snapshot of the terrain before extensive modern development, highlighting steep ridges like Upper Dugan Bluff and Lower Dugan Bluff that overlook the winding path of Big Creek. Along the southern edge, the Current River flows through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, flanked by landmarks such as Bee Bluff. This map is particularly valuable for its recording of numerous local hollow names, including Graveyard Hollow and Mail Route Hollow, which preserve the history of regional navigation and family homesteads.
