1973 Map of Dora

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The North Fork River carves a deep path through this portion of the Ozarks, where the border between Douglas and Ozark counties meets amidst a landscape defined by Karst topography. The map illustrates a rural society centered around small settlements like Dora, Richville, and Sweeton. This region is punctuated by numerous springs and caves, such as Roaring Spring, Blue Spring, and Turnbull Cave, which suggest the complex underground drainage systems typical of southern Missouri. The presence of Dora Sink and the nearby Sewage Disposal Pond highlights the local geological challenges of the era. Cultural life is anchored by dispersed rural institutions, including Little Zion Church, Bethany Church, and numerous family and community burial grounds like Pleasant Mound Cemetery and Innman Cemetery. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the Mark Twain National Forest, with Hammonds Mill Camp and the North Fork Campground serving as focal points for river-based recreation.
