About this map

Wiederkehr Village and the northern outskirts of Ozark anchor the southern reach of this Franklin County landscape, where the terrain begins its ascent into the Ozark National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of creeks, including the North Fork White Oak Creek and South Fork White Oak Creek, which drain the ridges of Douglas Mtn and Carter Mtn. At the center of the sheet, the Ozark City Lake provides a significant water feature near the small settlement of Mountain Grove.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, such as McLaughlin Cem, Handchew Cem, and McNelly Cem, reflecting a long history of family homesteads throughout Wildcat Hollow and the surrounding hills. Transport across the region is marked by historic corridors like State Hwy 219 and several forest trails, connecting established communities like Watalula and White Oak to the regional hub at the Ozark/Franklin County Airport.
