Eleven Point River
The Eleven Point River is a 138-mile-long (222 km)[2] river in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, United States. Eleven PointWhile the river originates near Willow Springs, Missouri, it is generally a losing stream upstream of the confluence with the Middle Fork of the Eleven Point near Thomasville, Missouri.[3] It more than doubles in flow when Greer Spring Branch runs into it, adding over 200 million US gallons (760,000 m3) of water per day to the river. The name derives from the Mississippi Valley French word pointe, which is a wooded point of land marking a river bend. Voyageurs marked distance by counting these points of land or river bends.[4] The river flows into the Spring River southwest of Pocahontas near the small town of Black Rock. In 1968 a 44.4-mile (71.5 km) stretch was named the Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River, one of the original eight rivers chosen to be part of the United States National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
