2021 Map of Spring Bluff

About this map

The Bourbeuse River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, characterized by numerous river crossings and active natural springs. Small rural communities like Spring Bluff and the northwestern edge of Sullivan anchor the settlement patterns, while historical river access points such as Peters Ford, Schmitt Ford, and Laubinger Ford indicate the area's long-standing reliance on the waterway for transit. This terrain is notably defined by its hydrology, featuring named flows like Little Spring Cr and Winsel Cr, alongside significant water sources including Roaring Spring, Kratz Spring, and Sour Spring. Local family history is preserved at the Evergreen Cem and Laubinger Memorial Cem, which sit amidst a network of rural routes such as Pea Ridge RD and Peters Ford RD. The map illustrates a typical Ozark borderland where established homesteads and cemetery sites remain central to the community's geographic identity.
