2011 Map of Bull Shoals

About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates the center of this 2011 survey, its dendritic shoreline reaching deep into the Ozark plateaus along the Arkansas-Missouri border. The settlement of Bull Shoals occupies the southern peninsula, where a dense grid of streets meets the water's edge at Ferncliff Pt. The map reveals a landscape defined by ridges and hollows, such as Promise Land Ridge and Oak Hollow, where small communities and family-named landmarks persist near the reservoir's edge. Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds including Price Place Cemetery near the Missouri line, Promised Land Cemetery, and Newton Flat Cemetery in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller settlements like Oakland and Price Place are connected by a network of county roads that navigate the complex topography created by the winding lake and its tributaries like Sister Creek.
