About this map

Siloam Springs and the surrounding Ozark woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest are documented in this 2004 revision, which captures a landscape defined by its subterranean hydrology and early Missouri settlements. The area across the Douglas Co and Howell Co line is dotted with numerous groundwater outlets, including Still Spring, Wolf Spring, and the curiously named Smallpox Spring.

Genealogists can identify several historic community centers and burial grounds, such as the Oak Grove Ch, Thornton Cem, and Mitts Cem. Local geography is further distinguished by prominent landforms and caves, notably Lovers Leap, Tabor Cave, and the preserved landscape of the Devils Backbone Wilderness. The presence of the Siloam Lookout and the Bluebuck Scenic Byway reflects the transition from early settlement use to modern forest management and recreation.
