2012 Map of Lecoma

About this map

Lecoma and Lake Spring anchor this portion of Dent County, characterized by a complex network of waterways feeding the Dry Fork and Little Dry Fork. The landscape is dotted with several named springs, including Wilson Spring and Bell Spring, which have historically influenced the settlement patterns of this Ozark region. The presence of multiple landing strips, such as the one at Bubbling Springs Landing Strip, suggests a reliance on private aviation for access across the varied terrain of Schuman Ridge. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds like Matlock Cemetery and Scott Cemetery, which are often the primary remaining physical markers of early family homesteads. The infrastructure is defined by a mix of old routes like Old State Highway 72 and a dense grid of county roads connecting the small communities of Elk Prairie and Hobson.
