Hickory Stump Hollow

Hickory Stump Hollow is a valley in southeastern Ozark County in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1] The valley headwaters lie just south of U.S. Route 160 east of Tecumseh. The stream enters Bridges Creek about one-quarter mile east of the waters of Norfork Lake.[2]

The headwaters of the stream in the valley are at 36°36′04″N 92°13′13″W and the confluence with Bridges Creek is at 36°34′13″N 92°14′26″W.[1]

Hickory Stump Hollow was named for the fact stumps of hickory trees were a common sight in the area.[3]
