2021 Map of Dora

About this map

Dora serves as a central hub in this section of the Ozarks, positioned where State Hwy CC and Highway 181 intersect. The landscape is heavily defined by its karst topography and deep drainage systems, most notably the North Fork River and the numerous springs that feed it, including Big Spring, Blue Spring, and Hicks Spring. To the north, the terrain rises toward Bear Mtn and Simpson Mtn, while the southern reaches are marked by the unique Dora Sink. Local genealogy is well-preserved through a network of rural burial sites such as Pleasant Mound Cem near Richville, Innman Cem outside Hebron, and the County Line Cem situated along the border of Douglas and Ozark Counties. Much of the eastern portion is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest, maintaining the wooded character of Pine Ridge and Toady Hollow.
