2012 Map of Fordland

About this map

The town of Fordland serves as the central hub of this Webster County landscape, where the transport corridor of U.S. Route 60 cuts through the Ozark plateau. To the north, Totten Lake is held by the FA Totten Lake Dam, while the surrounding terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Panther Creek, North Carolina Creek, and the southern Greasy Creek. Family and community history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Steward Cemetery located near Burks Hollow, Mount Olive Cemetery to the northwest, and Zion Cemetery in the east. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential streets of the town center to the winding rural routes like Cave Springs Rd, which leads toward the natural feature of Cave Spring. This topography reflects the typical Missouri Ozarks mix of cleared pastureland and wooded drainage branches.
