The Eleven Point River is a 138adj=midNaNadj=mid[2] river in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, United States.
While the river originates near Willow Springs, Missouri, it is generally a losing stream upstream of the confluence with the Middle Fork of the Eleven Point near Thomasville, Missouri.[3] It more than doubles in flow when Greer Spring Branch runs into it, adding over 200e6USgal of water per day to the river. The name derives from the Mississippi Valley French word pointe, which is a wooded point of land marking a river bend. Voyageurs marked distance by counting these points of land or river bends. The river flows into the Spring River southwest of Pocahontas near the small town of Black Rock.
In 1968 a 44.4miles stretch was named the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River, one of the original eight rivers chosen to be part of the United States National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
Pine Hollow is a valley in Oregon County in the U.S. state of Missouri. Pine Hollow was so named for the pine trees that grow in the valley.[4]
