1987 Map of Willow Springs North

About this map

Willow Springs sits at the southern edge of this mid-1980s survey, marking the transition from the settled municipal area into the wooded topography of the Mark Twain National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows and creek branches, including Esling Hollow, Rebel Hollow, and Spout Spring Hollow, which drain toward the South Prong Jacks Fork. To the southwest, the Frisco Reservoir serves as a notable water feature, while the Radio Tower (Kuku) stands as a modern landmark above the town. The terrain rises to distinct heights at King Mountain and Shuld, illustrating the characteristic Ozark relief. This era shows the established forest boundaries and local water sources like Piney Creek and Elk Cr before modern development shifted the rural character of northern Howell and southern Texas Counties.
