==Eleven Point== While 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.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ | title=The National Map - Advanced Viewer }}</ref> It more than doubles in flow when Greer Spring Branch runs into it, adding over {{convert|200|e6USgal|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.<ref>{{GNIS|76865|Eleven Point River}}</ref> The river flows into the Spring River southwest of Pocahontas near the small town of Black Rock.
In 1968 a {{convert|44.4|mi|km|adj=on}} 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.
==Pine Hollow== '''Pine Hollow''' is a valley in Oregon County in the U.S. state of Missouri.<ref>{{GNIS|724387}}</ref> Pine Hollow was so named for the pine trees that grow in the valley.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_oregon.html | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624071842/http://shsmo.org/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_oregon.html | archivedate = June 24, 2016 | url-status = live | title=Oregon County Place Names, 1928–1945 | publisher=The State Historical Society of Missouri| accessdate= November 24, 2016}}</ref>
