1945 Map of Willow Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Willow Springs serves as the commercial hub of this Howell County landscape, where the St Louis San Francisco railroad and arterial roads like Route 60 converge. The mapping reveals a highly localized rural network defined by its small schools and community churches, such as College Hill Sch and Antioch Ch, spaced for a population still traveling primarily by local roads. The Eleven Point River and its many tributaries, including Spring Creek and Lost Camp Creek, carve through the Ozark terrain, influencing the placement of settlements like Pomona and Olden. This era's infrastructure is further marked by the presence of Sky Haven Airport south of Gunter, and numerous family-named landmarks like Walkers Chapel and the Rowe Cem that provide valuable points of reference for genealogical research.
