About this map

Winona and the small settlement of Low Wassie anchor the northern landscape of this Missouri Ozarks region, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered ridges and named hollows. Much of the area is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest, reflecting a geography shaped by forest management and conservation. The name Old Tram Rd suggests the legacy of the local timber industry, tracing paths once used for moving logs through the hills.

Evidence of early rural life is found at Mount Zion Cem and the numerous family-named landmarks such as Van Winkle Hollow, Davis Hollow, and Edmondson Pond. The hydrology is complex, featuring Hurricane Cr and Pike Cr, along with distinctive upland water sources like Deep Pond and Grassy Pond. The southern border follows the county line between Shannon and Oregon counties, cutting through a landscape of deep ravines like Saltpetre Hollow and Possum Trot Hollow.
