About this map

Roaring River State Park and the Mark Twain National Forest dominate this Barry County landscape, showing the Missouri Ozarks in the mid-1970s. The hydrology of the area is centered on the Roaring River and the emerging waters of Roaring River Spring, which supports a local Fish Hatchery. To the east, the impoundment of the White River is visible as Table Rock Lake, reaching an elevation of 915 feet. This era reflects a transition toward recreational land use, evidenced by numerous campgrounds, picnic areas, and Camp Opocoa.

Local landmarks such as the Sugar Camp Lookout Tower and Munsey Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The terrain is marked by significant karst features, including Panther Cave, Onyx Cave, and a Natural Bridge in the northern Mineral hollows. The small settlement of Eagle Rock sits at the junction of river and lake, serving as a gateway to the surrounding ridges like Chute Ridge and Walnut Ridge.
