About this map

Niangua Arm Lake of the Ozarks and the Little Niangua Arm dominate this late-1950s landscape, illustrating the jagged, branching shoreline that characterizes the Camden County lake region. The map captures the community of Hurricane Deck and the resort-focused layout of Green Bay Terrace during a period of significant recreational growth. Inland from the water, the terrain is defined by complex ridge and hollow systems, including Sinkhole Ridge and Dunkin Ridge, which suggest the area's karst topography.

Local history is preserved through labels for the Farmer Sch and rural religious sites like Mt Taber Ch and New Home Ch. Significant landmarks such as Bridal Cave and the Lookout Tower near Neongwah point to the area's established identity as a destination for travelers. Detailed family-named geography like Gaynor Hollow and Dillock Hol provides invaluable data for genealogists tracing 20th-century land use near Camdenton.
