2017 Map of Pottersville

About this map

The small settlements of Pottersville, Cureall, and Crider anchor this portion of the Ozarks along the Ozark and Howell county line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Butler Hollow, Sawmill Hollow, and Ramsey Hollow, which channel drainage into watercourses like Tabor Cr and Spring Cr. These topographic features historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads, creating a scattered settlement pattern that persists today. Numerous cemeteries, including Union Grove General Baptist Cem, Setzer Cem, and Ledbetter Cem, are distributed across the area, often near crossroads or small drainage basins. Portions of the Mark Twain National Forest cover the northwest and northeast corners, where the terrain becomes particularly dissected near Low Gap and Rex Hill. This map reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where natural springs like Cureall Spring and Wilson Spring remain key landmarks in a territory shaped by the rugged topography of the southern Missouri plateau.
