About this map

White Church serves as a central landmark in this rural Howell County landscape, where the plateau is deeply incised by a network of waterways including the Middle Fork Eleven Point River and its numerous tributaries. The settlement pattern is defined by a grid of county roads that navigate the varying elevations, connecting isolated homesteads and historical sites like New Hope Cemetery and Pleasant View Cemetery.

To the southwest, the outskirts of West Plains begin to appear, shaped by the drainage of Galloway Creek and Spradlin Creek. The terrain features distinct geographic markers such as Peace Valley Draft and Dripping Spring, illustrating the characteristic Ozark hydrology of the region. This 2012 survey provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land use just north of the county seat, where the economy remains tied to the winding river valleys and upland pastures.
