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.{{cite web | url=https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ | title=The National Map - Advanced Viewer }} 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.{{GNIS|76865|Eleven Point River}} 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.
