2019 Map of White Church

About this map

White Church serves as a central landmark in this portion of Howell County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of several waterways including the Middle Fork Eleven Point River and Little Cr. This agricultural and rural region shows a pattern of settlement organized around the intersection of S State Rte 17 and State Rte N, where the community's early social fabric is preserved through named landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Dripping Springs Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and New Hope Cem, which are scattered throughout the sections. The terrain transitions from the water-carved Gunters Valley to the northern reaches of West Plains, reflecting a history of land management and transportation that predates modern development.
