1974 Map of Golden

About this map

Golden sits near the southern edge of this Ozark plateau landscape, where the waters of the White River and Kings River feed into the sprawling Table Rock Lake. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map reveals a region defined by its transition from traditional timber and farmland within the Mark Twain National Forest to a burgeoning recreation economy. Numerous public use areas and landing strips, such as Table Rock Air Park and the Turkey Mountain Estates Landing Strip, highlight the growth of seasonal residences and aviation access following the damming of the river.
