About this map

The northern border between Missouri and Arkansas divides this landscape of steep hollows and winding creek beds, where the Ozark foothills meet the state line across Sharp, Fulton, Oregon, and Randolph counties. Wirth and the community of Woodland Hills serve as the primary residential nodes, connected by a network of county roads that follow the ridges and valleys. The area is defined by its numerous springs, including Ruprecht Spring, Ellis Spring, and White Oak Spring, which feed into major drainages like Moccasin Creek and Big Creek.

Local genealogy is deeply rooted in the small cemeteries scattered throughout the townships, such as Bethel Cem, Hurst Cem, and the family-named Babe Collins Cem and Ed Collins Cem. Industrial history is represented by Rock Quarry Hill in the south, while the naming of Sawmill Hollow, Mine Hollow, and Sandbank Hollow suggests the diverse resource extraction that once shaped the local economy. The terrain is notably fractured, with dozens of named hollows like Muntz Hollow and Tuttwaller Hollow carving into the limestone plateau.
