1997 Map of Greer

About this map

The Eleven Point River carves a deep path through the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by its karst hydrology and historic river-dependent settlements. This late-twentieth-century survey reveals the enduring character of the Ozarks, where massive springs like Greer Spring and Falling Spring feed the river system. Along the river banks, the presence of Turners Mill and nearby Mary Deckard Shoals points to the area's history of water-powered industry and river navigation. Local family history is preserved in small upland clearings containing the Saints Cemetery, Hall Cemetery, and Russ Cemetery, often located near crossroads such as Greer or gathering places like the Oak Forest Church. The map traces a network of hollows—including Mine Hollow and Duncan Hollow—that run toward the main channel, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Oregon County terrain.
