About this map

Mark Twain Lake dominates this landscape in Monroe County, with its intricate fingers and coves shaping the local geography. The village of Florida sits on a peninsula between the main lake body and Lake Tony Sawyer, while the settlement of Victor is situated further south along the western banks of the reservoir. This modern digital survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the extensive network of rural roads, such as Monroe Road 684 and Monroe Road 477, that navigate the complex shoreline and interior uplands.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Hawkins Cemetery in the northwestern quadrant, near the banks of the lake. The terrain is marked by notable depressions and drainages including Vaughn Hollow and the South Fork Salt River, which feeds into the larger reservoir. Landmark points like Buzzards Roost overlook the water, while various creeks including Brush Cr and Pigeon Roost Cr drain the surrounding wooded hills into the Mark Twain Lake system.
