About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates this central Missouri landscape, where the winding shoreline creates a complex geography of peninsulas and deep coves. The 2015 survey shows the significant residential development concentrated in areas like the Village of Four Seasons, Lakeland, and Osage Beach. Transportation is centered around the Bagnell Dam Blvd corridor and Osage Beach Pky, providing access to the recreational and residential communities that have redefined this river valley.

Genealogists will find a surprising number of small family and community burial grounds preserved amidst the modern growth, including Cooper Cemetery, Houston Cemetery, and Riley Lamb Cemetery. The topography is marked by named hollows such as Raccoon Hollow, Cotton Hollow, and Miller Hollow, which recall the original drainage patterns of the Osage River system before its inundation. Landmarks like Hawaiian Island and Carrot Bluff serve as distinct navigational points for both water and land travel through this intricate lake country.
