1986 Map of Thomasville

About this map

Thomasville serves as the focal point of this Ozark landscape, situated where the Middle Fork Eleven Point River joins the main stem of the Eleven Point River. The area is defined by its karst topography, evidenced by numerous named hollows such as Sycamore Hollow and DePriest Hollow, as well as significant water features like Bill Mac Spring and Jolliff Spring. Evidence of former local industry is found at the Iron Mine (Inactive) near Black Pond in the northern portion of the map. The southern reaches are characterized by the Highland terrain and numerous stream branches, including Mill Branch and Barren Branch. Much of the river corridor is protected as part of the Eleven Point National Scenic River, highlighting the transition from traditional land use to federal conservation in the late 20th century.
