About this map

Lake Taneycomo snakes through the northern portion of this map, serving as a focal point for the communities of Branson and Hollister. The landscape is defined by the Ozark Plateau's characteristic dissected topography, featuring numerous hollows such as Big Hollow, Happy Hollow, and Coalpit Hollow. This 2015 survey reveals a blend of aviation history and local genealogy, anchored by the M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport in the north and the larger Branson Airport to the south.

Genealogists can find several small burial sites tucked into the hills, including Ellison Cemetery, Whorton Cemetery, and Vanzandt Cemetery. To the south, Ridgedale sits near the state line, while the central portion of the map is punctuated by notable landmarks like Murder Rock and Gobblers Knob. The intricate drainage network of Turkey Creek, Thorp Cr, and Fox Cr illustrates the complex watershed that flows toward the lake, supporting the region's development.
