2017 Map of Wasola

About this map

Wasola and Almartha anchor the southern reaches of this Ozark landscape, where the boundary between Douglas and Ozark counties divides the terrain. This 2017 survey details the complex network of hollows and ridges that define the area, most notably the prominent Coon Knob Hill and the distinctive Devils Backbone near Rippee Cr. The transition from rural homesteads to protected timber is evident as the Mark Twain National Forest encompasses much of the southwestern quadrant, punctuated by topographic features like Mount Lebanon Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a contemporary guide to several family and community landmarks, including Loftin Cem, Hilo Cem, and Herndon Cem. The hydrography of the region is equally detailed, tracing the winding paths of Spring Cr and the curious Spring Spring in the central hills.
