About this map

Lake Taneycomo snakes through the center of this Ozark landscape, defining the character of Branson and its neighboring settlements. This late-1980s revision documents the area as a growing hub of recreation and local industry, with the White River corridor punctuated by lakeside communities like Rockaway Beach, Edgewater Beach, and Ozark Beach. The map details the civic core of the region, including the Skaggs Community Hospital, several schools, and the Clark Airport south of town.

Historical land use is evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Renshaw Cem and Mountain Grove Cem. Natural conservation is marked by the Boston Ferry State Natural History Area, preserving a segment of the riverfront. The surrounding topography features distinctive local landmarks like the Balds and Ozark Mountain Ch, illustrating the transition from agricultural roots to a modern regional center.
