2011 Map of Watalula

About this map

Douglas Mountain and Carter Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this Franklin County region, where the terrain is carved by the complex drainage of the Mulberry River and North Fork White Oak Creek. The area is characterized by a series of small, distributed settlements including Watalula, White Oak, and Mountain Grove, reflecting a traditional rural development pattern centered on water sources and road junctions like Sutherland Crossroads. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is evident in the presence of the Rock Creek Gas Field and White Oak Gas Field, alongside the Ozark City Lake and its associated Ozark Water Supply Lake Dam. For those researching local family history, the map provides an extensive network of small burial grounds, ranging from the McLaughlin Cemetery in the northwest to the Shiloh Cemetery near the southern border.
