2015 Map of Smallett

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates the topography of this region, spanning the border between Douglas and Ozark counties. The landscape is defined by the Little N Fork White River and its numerous tributaries, including Spring Cr and Krider Br, which have carved out distinctive terrain features like Sugar Tree Hollow and Waterhole Hollow. Settlement patterns here follow these ridgelines and creek valleys, with small communities such as Smallett, Squires, and Toledo serving as local hubs. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Holt Cemetery and Norris-Piland Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the hills and ridges like Prieskon Ridge and Bristle Ridge. The map documents a rural Ozark network of county roads and forest tracks that connect isolated homesteads to larger routes like Mo-A and Mo-JJ.
