A good trail and a good map go hand-in-hand. The Department of Natural Resources has brochures with maps available for almost all of the sections of the Ozark Trail.
However, some of the maps are slightly out-of-date, and some routes are approximate. To fill in the gaps and create up-to-date maps, the OTA traveled the entire length of the trail in 2009 with GPS receivers to create accurate maps of the entire Ozark Trail.
