About this map

The fingers of Table Rock Lake dominate this portion of Barry County, Missouri, where the rugged Ozark terrain meets modern recreation and aviation. The community of Golden is central to the area, surrounded by a complex network of ridges and hollows including Natural Bridge Hollow, Bean Hollow, and Garner Hollow. The landscape is a mix of protected woodland within the Mark Twain National Forest and residential growth near the water at Emerald Beach and Chain-O-Lakes.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Farewell Cem, Painter Cem, and the Brock School Cem. Aviation is surprisingly prominent in this rural setting, with several landing strips like Turkey Mountain Estates Airport and Eagles-Nest Airport serving the local communities. Small settlements like Eagle Rock, Mano, and Oakhill are connected by winding state routes that follow the winding drainage of Viney Cr and Panther Cr.
