About this map

The Eleven Point Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest on this late 20th-century survey. This reach of the river is defined by its spring-fed hydrology, with notable sites like Powder Mill Spring, Conner Spring, and the historic Boze Mill location. The settlement of Riverton serves as a primary access point, featuring the Riverton Church, Riverton Cem, and the Riverton Boat Ramp near the river crossing.

Deeply dissected terrain is visible through numerous named hollows such as Bat Cave Hollow and Schoolhouse Hollow, while the Irish Wilderness occupies the northeastern reaches. This map documents a landscape where recreational and conservation management, indicated by the Eleven Point Scenic River Location, has superseded earlier pioneering footprints like the isolated Schoolhouse near Mitchell Spring or the Whitten Church on the western heights.
