1956 Map of Branson
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Lake Taneycomo dominates the winding geography of this 1950s survey, illustrating the area's development before the completion of Table Rock Dam. The White River transition into the lake defines the landscape, with Branson and Hollister appearing as established hubs connected by the Missouri Pacific railroad. Further north and east, the map details lakeside communities like Rockaway Beach, Long Beach, and Ozark Beach near the spillway. Notable local landmarks include the Drive-in Theater and Ozark Memorial Park south of Branson. Cultural sites such as Oak Grove Ch, Mountain Grove Sch, and several cemeteries including Renshaw Cem and Howard Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracking family roots in the White River valley during the mid-century era.
