1997 Map of Thomasville

About this map

Thomasville serves as the focal point for this section of the Ozarks, situated at the confluence where the Middle Fork and Barren Fork meet to form the Eleven Point River. This 1997 revision highlights the protected status of the waterway as the Eleven Point Wild and Scenic River, emphasizing its importance for both conservation and recreation. The Thomasville Boat Ramp provides a key access point for river travel, while numerous karst features like Bill Mac Spring and Jolliff Spring feed the clear river system. Evidence of local industry is visible through the Iron Mine and its associated Iron Mine Tailings Pond, providing a record of the area's mineral extraction history. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of timbered valleys such as DePriest Hollow and Wick Cave Hollow, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of the Missouri hills.
