About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates this landscape, its sprawling fingers and numerous coves creating a labyrinthine shoreline. The complex geography is defined by prominent peninsulas like Horseshoe Bend and Shawnee Bend, where residential development and resort infrastructure have shaped the modern era. Significant landmarks such as the Bagnell Dam and various aviation facilities, including the Mud Harbor Seaplane Base and Tan Tar A Resort Seaplane Base, point to the area's long-standing role as a recreation and transport hub.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family-named burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Riley Lamb Cemetery, Houston Cemetery, and Birdsong Cemetery. These sites, along with terrain features like Carrot Bluff and Ben Anderson Hollow, provide a window into the earlier settlement patterns before the creation of the reservoir transformed the valley. The map also detail various resort communities from Four Seasons to Laguna Beach, capturing the 2011 footprint of this iconic Missouri destination.
