2015 Map of Willard

About this map

The Little Sac River carves through the northeast corner of this Greene County landscape, where the agrarian history of the Ozark Plateau is preserved in a network of family cemeteries and old crossing points. Local heritage is anchored by the Cave Spring Memorial Church and its adjacent Cave Spring Cemetery, alongside other historic burial grounds like Wesley Cemetery and Murray Cemetery. The transport history of the region is evident in the path of the Frisco Highline Trl, which follows the former rail corridor through Willard toward the outskirts of Springfield. Near the river, several historical crossing markers remain, including the Hackney Mill Bridge and Johnson Ford Bridge. The landscape transitions from the developed center of Willard to more rural areas like Pearl and Ritter, defined by springs such as Brower Spring and Clear Creek Spring.
