Nature Around Gentryville
Gentryville is built on a narrow ridge, which is like a long, raised piece of land. This ridge is about 1,112 feet (339 meters) above sea level. On either side of the ridge, there are two creeks: Fox Creek and Brush Creek. These creeks flow into a larger stream called Bryant Creek. Bryant Creek is a major tributary, meaning it's a big stream that feeds into an even larger river, the North Fork River. This natural setting makes Gentryville a peaceful place surrounded by the beauty of the Ozarks.
