1973 Map of Dora

About this map

The North Fork White River carves a deep path through the southern Ozarks on this 1970s survey, marking the boundary between Douglas and Ozark counties. The landscape is defined by its karst topography and water resources, featuring prominent springs like Hebron Spring and Blue Spring, along with subterranean features such as Turnbull Cave and Bat Cave. Small rural settlements like Dora and Richville anchor the community, while the Mark Twain National Forest encompasses much of the eastern terrain. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Pleasant Mound Cem and Innman Cem. The map also captures the recreational character of the river valley, noting the Hammonds Mill Camp and several campgrounds and boat ramps that served visitors to the Rich Land and Spring Creek areas.
