Wilderness is an unincorporated community in northeast Oregon County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The community is at the end of Missouri Route K within the Irish Wilderness area of the Mark Twain National Forest. The Eleven Point River is three miles to the southeast and Alton is twelve miles to the southeast.[1]
A post office called Wilderness was established in 1882, and remained in operation until 1954.[2] The community derives its name from a region originally called "Irish Wilderness", a former Irish colony which was abandoned on account of Civil War violence.[3]
