About this map

Hastain and the surrounding southern reaches of the Lake of the Ozarks define this corner of Benton County. The landscape is deeply incised by a network of seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Deer Cr and Little Deer Cr, which flow through numerous named hollows such as Wolf Branch Hollow and Buckley Hollow. The settlement of Edwards sits at the southern edge of the sheet, connected by a network of local roads to agricultural and residential pockets.

Genealogists can trace local history through the Hastain Cemetery and Belleview Cemetery, while the topography reveals the transition from ridge-top roads like Miller Ridge to the low-lying shoreline of the reservoir. Notable landmarks like Lakewood Lake and Short School Hollow provide specific points of interest for researchers studying the land use and drainage patterns of the Ozark Plateau in the early 21st century.
