About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates this Missouri landscape, where the winding shoreline creates a complex geography of peninsulas and deep coves. The irregular water's edge defines residential development at Ivy Bend and Dodds, characterized by a dense network of local roads like Ivy Bend Rd and Coffman Bend Dr. This map illustrates how the rugged topography of the Ozark Plateau was transformed by the lake, leaving high points such as King Bluff and Thornsberry Point as prominent landmarks above the flooded valleys.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds tucked away in the hills, including Parish Cemetery, Woolery Cemetery, and Carver Cemetery. The transition between Morgan Co and Camden Co is clearly marked as it traverses both land and water. Numerous family-named hollows, such as Wells Branch Hollow and Jenkins Hollow, provide a record of the area's rural heritage before and after the creation of the reservoir.
