2014 Map of Diamond City

About this map

Diamond City and the neighboring communities of Lead Hill and South Lead Hill anchor the southern reaches of the massive Bull Shoals Lake reservoir along the Missouri-Arkansas border. This modern survey illustrates the complex, inundated topography of the Ozarks, where fingers of water now fill once-dry valleys like Buckley Hollow and Carrollton Hollow. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential street grids of the lakeside towns to the deeply carved terrain of the surrounding hills. Genealogists can identify several small burial sites preserved throughout the landscape, including Pickard Cem, Fairview Cem, and the Raley Cem near Sycamore. Landmarks such as Sugarloaf Knob and Willis Bald rise above a network of county roads and historic routes like Ar-14, marking the high points of a landscape defined by the interplay of the White River's dammed waters and the rugged limestone bluffs of Goat Bluff and Buzzard Bluff.
