About this map

Gravois Mills serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern shoreline of the Lake of the Ozarks. The topography is dominated by the intricate inlets of the Gravois Arm, where the landscape is a complex network of hollows such as Rastorfer Hollow and Hibdon Hollow draining into the reservoir. This early 1980s data incorporates underwater contours sourced from Union Electric Company charts of 1925 and 1931, preserving the pre-inundation geography of the valley floor beneath the current water levels.

Social and recreational landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, including the St Patricks Ch, the South Sch, and local curiosities like Jacobs Cave and a Natural Bridge. Several family-named burial grounds, including Hume Cem and Sidebottom Cem, provide valuable reference points for genealogists. The map also records specialized infrastructure like the Fish Hatchery and the Adkins Landing Strip, reflecting a mix of rural life and lakeside development.
