1935 Map of Barnumton

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Little Niangua River winds through the hills of Camden County in this mid-1930s survey, capturing the landscape shortly after the formation of the Lake of the Ozarks. The map reveals a transition from traditional river crossings like Bannister Ford and Griswold Ford to the newer aquatic reality of the reservoir, including the Nonsuch Ferry. Numerous rural schoolhouses, such as Crocker School, Ray School, and Bannister Sch, are scattered throughout the hollows, documenting the educational geography of the era. Settlement centers like Barnumton and the small community of Bannister are noted alongside local landmarks like Chalk Bluff and Whittaker Cem. The intricate network of named drainage features, including Sulphur Spring Hollow and Mineral Hollow, illustrates a deeply dissected topography where family-named landmarks often defined local navigation.
