2017 Map of Forsyth

About this map

Lake Taneycomo and Bull Shoals Lake dominate this Ozark landscape, meeting near the community of Powersite. The topography is defined by the winding course of Swan Creek as it flows south toward the White River basin, passing the county seat at Forsyth. This 2017 survey details the transition between the rolling woodlands of the Mark Twain National Forest and the managed waters of the regional reservoir system. Local genealogy and land use history are well-represented by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Ragsdale Cem, Grant Cem, and Brittain Cem. Significant elevation features such as Shadow Rock and Johnson Bluff overlook the waterways, while smaller settlements like Taneyville, Kissee Mills, and Mildred anchor the road network across several townships. The map provides a clear picture of contemporary residential development alongside traditional landmarks and public forest lands.
