2021 Map of Cassville

About this map

Cassville serves as the focal point of this southwestern Missouri landscape, where the Barry County Judicial Center marks the local seat of government. The area is defined by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem and the Quaker Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Barry County. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into the protected woodlots of the Mark Twain National Forest, characterized by deep drainages such as Corder Hollow and Roaring River Hollow. Geologic features like the Ash Cave Natural Arch and the karst topography of Sink Hole Ridge illustrate the region's complex hydrology, which is further evidenced by a high density of named springs, including Twin Springs and Mineral Spring. This network of water sources historically dictated the location of rural settlements like Hilltop and the surrounding agricultural homesteads.
