2015 Map of Doss

About this map

Doss and the surrounding rural landscape of Dent County are defined by the winding course of the Meramec River and the eastern edge of the Mark Twain National Forest. The topography is a complex of hollows and ridges, with named features like Bell Hollow, Lynch Valley, and Orchard Mill Hollow indicating a long history of family settlement and land use. Small communities such as Turtle, Fawn, and Max are linked by a network of county roads, including Mo-B and Mo-N. For the family historian, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Warden Cemetery, Miner Cemetery, and McCarter Cemetery. Hydrological landmarks such as Antioch Spring, Ferrill Spring, and the unique Welch Sinks highlight the karst-influenced drainage patterns of the Ozark plateau.
