2015 Map of Pine Crest

About this map

Mountain View anchor's the southern edge of this landscape, where the Ozark Plateau begins its descent toward the river corridors of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Tracy Hollow and Buckhorn Hollow, which drain into the North Prong Jacks Fork and the Jacks Fork. These watercourses were historically vital for transit, evidenced by named crossings like Harlow Ford and Ratcliff Ford. Smaller settlements and communities including Arroll, Oakside, and Pine Crest are scattered throughout, often centered around family or church burial grounds like Cold Spring Cemetery and Oakside Cemetery. The area reveals a pattern of dispersed rural living, with isolated features like Chimney Rock and Baptizing Hole serving as local landmarks. The convergence of Texas Co, Shannon Co, and Howell Co borders within this sheet highlights the historical importance of this area as a crossroads for the region.
