2017 Map of Fristoe

About this map

The Harry S Truman Reservoir dominates the western half of this landscape, its fingers reaching into deep ravines and hollows along the Benton Co Hickory Co line. Near the northern edge, the settlement of Fristoe serves as a local hub, surrounded by family burial grounds like the Fristoe Cem and Joplin Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Mining Hollow and Sugarcamp Hollow, that drain toward the Pomme de Terre River and its various tributaries. To the south, the village of Avery and the community of White Cloud sit on higher ground away from the reservoir's flood pool. Genealogists will find a high concentration of rural cemeteries, including South New Home Cem and Pippens Cem, which mark the historical footprint of these Ozark communities before and after the creation of the reservoir.
