About this map

The Pottersville settlement serves as a focal point in this Ozark Plateau landscape, situated near the headwaters of Spring Cr and Wadley Br. This portion of Howell and Ozark counties is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Sawmill Hollow and Cold Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the local road system. The agricultural and rural character of the area is underscored by the distribution of small community centers like Cureall and Crider, alongside numerous established burial grounds including Union Grove General Baptist Cemetery and Ledbetter Cemetery.

Hydrology plays a vital role in the geography here, with Cureall Spring and Wilson Spring feeding into the drainage basins of Davis Cr and Key Cr. A significant portion of the northern and western terrain is managed as part of the Mark Twain National Forest, reflecting the region's commitment to timber and conservation. Genealogists will find the detailed mapping of remote cemeteries and named landmarks like Rex Hill particularly useful for locating family homesteads.
