2017 Map of Ozark

About this map

Ozark and the southern reaches of Springfield anchor this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by the transition from urban expansion to the rural valleys of the Finley Creek drainage. The Missouri Veterans Cem - Springfield stands as a prominent landmark near the northern edge, while the southern portion traces the winding course of Finley Creek past Linden and McCracken. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named cemeteries such as Gibson-Porter Cem, Weaver Cem, and Vaughn Cem that predate the modern subdivisions. The hydrography of the area is well-defined, featuring the waters of Lake Springfield in the northwest and the recreationally significant Lindenlure Lake to the east, where several hollows like Mooney Hollow and Carter Hollow converge.
