About this map

Swan Creek and the winding course of Lake Taneycomo anchor this study of the White River valley landscape in Taney County. The county seat at Forsyth serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities like Powersite, Kissee Mills, and Taneyville. The map captures a topography defined by steep bluffs and hollows, such as White Bass Blf and Wisdom Hollow, which give way to the expansive waters of Bull Shoals Lake in the south.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered across the townships. From Ragsdale Cemetery and Snapp Cemetery to the eastern boundaries of the Mark Twain National Forest, the map preserves the names of early settlements like Dickens and the residential growth at Shepherd of the Hills Estates. This 2015 edition documents the modern road network, including Forsyth Taneyville Rd and Wilderness Rd, as they navigate the ridges above Beaver Creek.
