About this map

Fallsville and the surrounding high country of the Ozark National Forest are defined by a complex network of ridges and deep drainage basins. This area serves as a significant hydrological divide, where the headwaters of the Buffalo River and the Main Prong Big Buffalo Cr flow northward, while the W Fork Big Piney Cr and its tributaries, such as Adkins Cr, carve their way toward the south. The settlement pattern is largely influenced by this topography, with small communities like Loafer situated along the winding ridge roads.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites throughout the township, including Sullivan Cem near the town center and Case Cem further south. The landscape is also marked by numerous hollows, such as Bowers Hollow and Waterfall Hollow, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the Ozark plateau. Extensive trail systems like the Ozark Highlands Trail and the Fire Tower Trail provide access to the more remote sections of the forest, including the distinctive Glory Hole landmark.
