2021 Map of Piedmont Hollow

About this map

The Eleven Point Wild and Scenic River snakes across the southern portion of this landscape, its path marked by significant aquatic features like Roaring Spring and Graham Spring. This modern survey of the Mark Twain National Forest reveals a terrain defined by its complex hydrology and ridges, where named springs such as Paty Spring and Thompson Spring feed into the watershed. The area’s human history is preserved through the locations of the Spring Creek Cem and Hickory Grove Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. Prominent landforms such as Cane Bluff and the Devils Backbone ridge contrast with deep depressions like Piedmont Hollow and Johnson Hollow. This network of hollows and ridges, including the distinct Grandaddy Ridge, illustrates the topographic character of Oregon County before the influence of extensive modern development.
