About this map

Hollister and the surrounding Taney County landscape are defined by the winding waters of Lake Taneycomo and a series of deep hollows that segment the Ozark plateau. This 2017 survey shows the proximity of two distinct aviation hubs, the M Graham Clark Downtown Airport perched near the lake and the larger Branson Airport to the south. Historically significant burial sites are scattered throughout the hills, including Pine Top Cem, Whorton Cem, and Vanzandt Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in this part of Missouri.

The terrain is notably rugged, carved by drainages such as Turkey Creek and Bee Cr. Named local heights like Gobbler Knob and the curiously named Murder Rock rise above depressions like Coalpit Hollow and Happy Hollow. The map also captures the corridor between the established community of Melva and the southern settlement of Ridgedale near the Arkansas border, reflecting the modern road network centered on State Hwy JJ and Branson Creek Blvd.
