About this map

The North Fork River carves a deep path through this portion of the Mark Twain National Forest, creating a landscape defined by dramatic ridges and springs. A distinctive geological formation known as the Devils Backbone dominates the northeastern corner, with secondary ridges like Devils Backbone-Collins Ridge and Devils Backbone-McGarr Ridge branching toward the river. This area in Ozark County is notably groundwater-rich, featuring numerous named water sources including Althea Spring, Rainbow Springs, and Clapp Spring. For genealogical research, the map identifies several scattered burial grounds such as Oak Mound Cem and Frazier Cem, alongside small rural hubs like Cross Roads. The presence of the Sunburst Ranch Airport and the River of Life Farm Dr suggests a modern land use focused on recreation and aviation amidst the hollows and hills.
