About this map

Silver Dollar City and the surrounding Ozark landscape dominate this late 1980s topographical study, capturing the intersection of early pioneer heritage and modern tourism. The map detail highlights the storied Marvel Cave and The Shepherd of the Hills Homestead, landmarks that helped define the regional identity. The cultural geography is further anchored by local institutions like Uncle Ikes Post Office and the Sycamore Log Church.

Elevated ridges including Indian Ridge and Compton Ridge overlook the winding shoreline of Table Rock Lake. The transition from rural homesteads and cemeteries, such as Evergreen Cem, to the burgeoning development of Branson is evident. Extensive public lands are preserved within the Mark Twain National Forest and the Ruth and Paul Henning State Forest, protecting the rugged hollows and high points like Inspiration Point.
