2015 Map of Billmore

About this map

The Eleven Point River carves a significant path through the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest, defining the rugged topography of this Missouri-Arkansas borderland. This area is characterized by an intricate network of hollows and springs, such as Kimes Hollow and Mud Spring, which feed into the main river system. The settlement of Billmore sits centrally near Frederick Creek, while smaller communities like Calm and Griswold anchor the eastern and southern reaches of the map. Genealogical interests are served by the presence of Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Mount Carmel Cemetery, which mark the early social centers of these dispersed rural townships. Distinctive geological features like The Narrows demonstrate how the river has shaped the landscape over time, creating narrow passages between the steep hills of Oregon County.
