1972 Map of Peel

About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates the landscape along the state line where Taney and Marion counties meet. This survey, completed in the early 1970s, illustrates the complex shoreline of the reservoir, which submerged the original river valley at Elevation 654. The Peel Ferry remains a critical transportation link across the White River arm of the lake, connecting the community of Peel to the north. Historical land use is visible through family-named landmarks like Riddle Cem and Upshaw Cem, while the industrial past is marked by a Lead Mine near Short Mountain. The terrain transitions from the inundated valleys to high points like Jap Knob and Gay Ridge, reflecting the topographic character of the Ozarks before further modern development. These records of the lake's early decades are vital for tracing road networks and settlements like Monarch that shaped local commerce.
