About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Ozark County region, where the reservoir's fingers reach into numerous named hollows. The settlement of Isabella sits near the northern boundary of the Mark Twain National Forest, serving as a central point for a network of county roads that navigate the complex topography. Higher elevations like Wilkinson Knob overlook a terrain defined by narrow drainages such as N Fork Bratten Spring Cr and Gulley Spring Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Isabella Cem, Friend Cem, and Charity Cem, which are tucked away near small communities like Locust and Pontiac. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where the landscape is a mix of protected forest land and established rural homesteads, all oriented around the water levels of the lake and the deep incisions of places like Jackson Hollow and Gate Post Hollow.
