About this map

Pottersville and the surrounding Ozark plateau are captured here in a 2004 revision, showing a landscape defined by deeply cut hollows and vital water sources. The rugged topography of the Mark Twain National Forest dominates the northwest, featuring landforms with evocative names like Backbone and Devils. Settlement patterns follow the ridge lines and creek valleys, with small community centers like Crider and Cureall serving as anchors for the local population.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous landmarks, including the Union Grove Ch and Little Zion Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds such as Ledbetter Cem and Setzer Cem. The importance of groundwater in this karst region is evident through the presence of Tabor Spring and Cureall Spring. This map reveals the persistence of rural life in Howell Co and Ozark Co, where old road networks and small-scale Mines trace the history of land use in southern Missouri.
