About this map

The Current River winds through the heart of this landscape, its path framed by the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. This 1960s survey, updated in the mid-1980s, documents a region defined by its numerous natural springs and deep hollows. The settlement at Round Spring serves as a focal point near the river's bend, while the uplands of Newton Ridge and the Shannondale State Forest are punctuated by landmarks like the Shannondale Lookout Tower.

Genealogists can trace local history through several established burial grounds, including Chrisco Cem, Pulltite Cem, and Lone Pine Cem. The map illustrates a landscape where traditional transit paths like the Mail Route intersect with newer conservation boundaries. Significant water sources such as Pulltite Spring, Watson Spring, and Roaring Spring highlight the hydrologic character of the Missouri Ozarks during this era.
