About this map

The Osage River and the expansive Lake of the Ozarks define this landscape in the early 1980s, revealing the geographical shift of settlements following the reservoir's creation. The distinction between Old Linn Creek and the relocated Linn Creek illustrates the profound impact of the hydroelectric project on local topography and community planning. Along the Grandlaize Arm, numerous recreational sites like Camp Clover Point and Camp Pa He Tsi dot the shoreline of Osage Beach State Park, signaling the area's transition into a major tourism hub.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many family and community burial grounds, including Old Erie Cem, Zion Cem, and Hopkins Cem. Industrial history is preserved through markers for the Hunter Mine and various quarries, while the presence of the Linn Creek-Grand Glaize Memorial Airport and the Voc-Tech Sch near Camdenton points to the mid-century infrastructure supporting the region's growth. The complex system of hollows, such as Willow Springs Hollow and Parrish Hol, provides a detailed record of the natural drainage that preceded the modern lake levels.
