1982 Map of Wasola
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Wasola serves as a central point in this rugged portion of the Ozarks, situated along the border of Douglas and Ozark counties. The landscape is defined by deep hollows and high ridges, including Ridge and Backbone, with numerous springs and fords punctuating the drainage basins of Barren Fork and Little Creek. The area within the Mark Twain National Forest shows a scattered network of rural life, anchored by small community centers like Squires, Girdner, and Almartha. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of family-named landmarks and country churches, such as Murray Ch and Oak Grove Ch, alongside several isolated burial grounds including Hilo Cem and Herndon Cem. The presence of several fords across Little Prong and Teeter Creek highlights the historic reliance on seasonal water crossings before modern infrastructure dominated these hills.
