Low Wassie, Missouri
Low Wassie is an unincorporated community in eastern Shannon County, in the Ozarks of southern Missouri, United States.[1] The community is located at the junction of Pike and Sycamore Creeks on Missouri Route W, approximately one mile north of U.S. Route 60.[2]
History
A post office called Low Wassie was established in 1891, and remained in operation until 1943.[3] The community was so named due to the presence of a sinkhole wetland (a "wassie" in local parlance) near the original town site.[4]
