2021 Map of Thornfield

About this map

The Mark Twain National Forest dominates this section of the Ozarks, where the drainage of the Little N Fork White River and its various tributaries like Otter Cr and Pond Fork have carved a complex landscape of hollows. Small settlements and family burial grounds are scattered throughout the hills, including Thornfield and Longrun. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries for the area, such as Graham Smith Cem and Wallace Cem, providing significant data for genealogists tracing local families. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Washington Bald and numerous named valleys such as Buttram Hollow and Greene Hollow. Along the southern edges, the Glade Top Trail skirts the ridges, reflecting the traditional transit routes that followed the high ground above the many winding creeks.
