EXPLORE > MAPS
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However, some of the maps are slightly out-of-date, and some routes are approximate.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 is traveling the entire length of the trail this year with GPS receivers to create accurate maps of the entire Ozark Trail. So far we have completed the trail sections within a 20-mile radius of Johnsons' Shut-ins and they can be found below.
