2021 Map of Bassville

About this map

Fair Grove Mound rises above the rolling landscape north of Springfield, serving as a prominent landmark in this transition between the Ozark Plateau and the plains. The northern reaches of the city extend into this area, evidenced by the development around Valley Water Mills and the Valley Water Mill Pond. The hydrology is defined by the headwaters of several systems, including the Little Pomme de Terre River, the S Dry Sac River, and the Little Sac River, which feeds into the large expanse of Fellows Lake. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites scattered across the rural landscape, such as Old Salem Cem, Elm Spring Cem, and Bass Chapel Cem. Smaller settlements like Hickory Barren and Bassville maintain their distinct identities even as the regional infrastructure of Greene County modernizes.
