Research notes

Mark Twain NF spans ~1.5 million acres across 29 Missouri counties in the Ozarks region. Overlay is procedural/advisory — federal land is removed from state and local zoning jurisdiction except via cooperative agreement; private inholdings and adjacent parcels remain subject to county zoning. Federal conflict check flagged because federal land status and USFS Forest Plan operate above any state/local zoning regime within the unit boundary.
