2017 Map of Devils Elbow

About this map

St. Robert and the sprawling training grounds of Fort Leonard Wood anchor this portion of the Ozark Plateau, where the rugged topography of the Mark Twain National Forest meets significant historical transit corridors. The Big Piney River winds through the center of the sheet, creating the sharp bend that gives Devils Elbow its name. This area is defined by its deep karst features and hollows, such as Smoky Hollow and Round Pond Hollow, which provided the secluded sites for numerous family burial grounds including Mayfield Cem and Thompson Cem.
