1959 Map of Knobby

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates the northern and eastern reaches of this 1959 survey, where the Osage River winds through the deep hollows of Camden, Benton, and Morgan Counties. The map captures a rural landscape characterized by isolated settlements such as Lively, Sagrada, and the eponymous Knobby. Local navigation relies on a network of ridges and creeks, with landmarks like Duncans Point and Brown Bend marking the irregular shoreline created by the reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named features and local gathering places. Notable interior sites include Walkers Corner, Pearson Branch Church, and Lick Creek Church, alongside the remote Adkins Cave and Cable Ridge Cemetery. The intricate drainages of Spring Valley Creek, Union Creek, and Jack Branch illustrate the dissected terrain that defined life in the Ozarks before modern development further altered the lakefront.
