These include: Ozark Spring 6, 000 gpd – Falling Spring 1,360,000 gpd – Land Spring 116,000 gpd – Bartlett Mill Spring 10,100,000 gpd – Creasy Spring 15,200,000 gpd – Schlicht Spring 594,000 gpd – Murphy Eddy Spring 646,000 gpd – Roubidoux Spring 37,700,000 gpd – Miller Spring 13,600,000 gpd – Prewett Spring 11,000,000 gpd – Stone Mill Spring 18,700,00 gpd – Hale Cemetery Spring 6,000 gpd – Shanghai Spring 11,600,000 gpd – Harrison Spring 3,880,000 gpd – Spring 775,000 gpd – Pruett Spring 969,000 gpd – Pillman Spring #1 7,490,000 gpd – Boiling Spring 68,000,000 gpd – Most of these springs are used for watering stock, but two are used for commercial fishing. Many are unused and most are located on private property. At least six of these springs were used at one time to power grist and woolen mills, some did so halfway through the twentieth century.
