Missouri Ozarks (South-Central Highlands)

The Land in Howell County

Howell County anchors the southern Ozarks, offering some of the more open and workable ground in the highlands around the regional hub of West Plains. The land rolls in broad pasture and hay meadows broken by timbered ridges and spring-fed draws, long shaped by beef and dairy cattle. Thin, rocky soils keep the working use in grazing and forage, but the terrain is gentler and the tracts more improvable than the rugged river breaks nearby. Timbered corners and creek bottoms hold reliable whitetail and turkey, and the North Fork and Eleven Point country lies close for floating and fishing. Howell suits a working cattle farm, a hay operation, or a balanced recreational and grazing tract.
