2017 Map of Ozark Springs

About this map

The Gasconade River winds through this section of Pulaski County, carving a landscape defined by deep valleys and sharp ridges such as Turkey Ridge and The Narrows. At this point in the early 21st century, the area around Waynesville and Buckhorn reflects a mixture of rural Missouri settlements and the protected woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest. The map documentation highlights the importance of local water sources, identifying Ozark Springs, Stillhouse Springs, and Creasy Spring. Local heritage is anchored by scattered burial grounds, including Parsons Cem, Dodd's Cem, and Bartlett Cem. Transportation routes like State Hwy NN and Riddle Rd connect these outlying communities, while the Lundstrum Ford Bridge and Mokane Bridge provide critical crossings over the river and its tributaries in a region characterized by significant relief and numerous named hollows like York Hollow and Laquey Hollow.
