2015 Map of Joplin West

About this map

Shoal Creek meanders through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring several small communities such as Shoal Creek Drive and Cliff Village. This area exhibits a transition from the urban density of Joplin and West Joplin toward the hollows and creek bottoms to the west and south. Notable landforms like Roaring Spring Hollow, Tanyard Hollow, and Gordon Hollow define the terrain near the Jasper Co Newton Co line. The industrial and mining history of the Tri-State district is suggested by numerous hollows named for early mineral interests, including Chitwood Hollow and Leadville Hollow.
