Cultural Significance. ‌ Xxxxxxxx Spring in Ozark, Missouri, discharges from a wooded hillside and flows west before emptying into the Xxxxxx River. The spring branch’s base flow is supported by the discharge from Xxxxxxxx Spring. Intense rainfall and precipitation events around the Ozarks lead to rapid increases in stream flow, which causes seeps and springs to constantly alter in flow magnitude. Factors such as topography, soil type, and geological components affect water runoff and infiltration rates, which ultimately affects groundwater and spring discharge. Xxxxxxxx Spring Branch flows through the park and previously supplied drinking water for the railroad and some Ozark residents. It was slightly impounded by hand-built dams during the early 20th century, but those structures have long weathered and provide little to no resistance to the current today. Downstream of the park, the branch discharges into the Xxxxxx River south of Xxxxxx River Park. The stream is less than two miles in total length from the cave to the river. While the watershed of Xxxxxxxx Spring Branch is relatively small in area, its landscape and aesthetic beauty have been a focal point of outdoor recreation in Ozark for over five decades.

Christian County was incorporated from parts of Xxxxxx and Xxxxx counties in 1859, named after Christian County, Kentucky. Xxxxxxxx Spring once served as an important source of water to the citizens of Ozark. Drinking water for the school was collected from the nearby springs. A small but rich lead mine was erected in 1869, and most of the material mined was washed in the Xxxxxxxx Spring. A railroad connecting Springfield to Ozark was finished in 1881. In 1899, a new hydraulic pump was added to the spring to direct water where needed, including to the Frisco Railroad depot to give their engines steam. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, an Ozark businessman, had owned the springs temporarily around 1920 when he installed retaining walls to create the Xxxxxxxxx Bass Lakes. The dams, although they are in poor condition, still exist on the property today. The Xxxxxxxx family arrived in the 1840s and owned many acres of land in Ozark and the surrou...
