2011 Map of Ozark

About this map

Finley Creek and its many tributaries, including Garrison Branch and Parched Corn Creek, define the topography of this Christian County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The area shows significant residential development south of Lake Springfield, particularly within Fremont Hills and the expanding northern reaches of Ozark. Local history and genealogy are deeply embedded in the terrain, evidenced by a high density of family-named burial grounds such as Kelly Cemetery, Gibson-Porter Cemetery, and Vaughn Cemetery. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional rural identifiers like Parched Corn Hollow and Mooney Hollow meet modern infrastructure. Transportation and aviation landmarks, including Air Park South, Sadowski Private Airport, and the Hedges Spur rail feature, highlight the region's role as a suburban and industrial corridor between Springfield and the smaller outlying settlements of McCracken and Linden.
