2015 Map of Couch

About this map

Couch and Midway anchor this pocket of Oregon County, where a complex network of hollows and ridges defines the Ozark landscape. The terrain is deeply inscribed with family-named landmarks and water sources, from Duncan Spring in the north to the Eldorado Spring and Ruprecht Spring system in the south. These springs once provided essential water for the scattered farmsteads and small communities like Corona and Jeff that dot the map. Local heritage is preserved at Rose Hill Cemetery and Norman Cemetery, which remain as touchstones for genealogists tracing families in this rural corridor.
