About this map

Winona anchors the northern portion of this Ozark landscape, situated at the edge of the Mark Twain National Forest. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of hollows, such as Horse Trough Hollow and Possum Trot Hollow, which reveal the deep dissection of the plateau by drainage systems like Pike Creek and Hurricane Creek. Local history is centered around quiet landmarks like the Mount Zion Cem and the small settlement of Low Wassie to the east.

Water resources are a defining feature of the area, ranging from natural springs like Martin Spring to numerous ponds including Deep Pond and Edmondson Pond. These features, alongside the presence of the Old Tram trail, suggest a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and historic timber or transport corridors through the rugged Missouri woodlands. The map also captures the boundary between Shannon and Oregon counties at its southern edge.
