1987 Map of Willow Springs North

About this map

Willow Springs sits at the southern edge of this Ozark landscape, where the town's northern expansion meets the rugged creek valleys of the Mark Twain National Forest. The 1980s terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered hollows and small branches, including the curiously named Rebel Hollow and the deep cuts of Richardson Hollow. To the north, the headwaters of the South Prong Jacks Fork begin their winding path through the Pierce and Sargent townships. The local infrastructure of the era is anchored by the Frisco Reservoir and a series of rural cemeteries that dot the ridges. Dominating the southeastern corner, King Mountain serves as a prominent landmark above the surrounding Spout Spring Hollow, illustrating the sharp elevation changes characteristic of the Missouri Ozarks' edge.
