2012 Map of Protem SW

About this map

The White River valley and its transition into the waters of Bull Shoals Lake dominate this Taney County landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the rugged southern Missouri terrain, defined by a complex network of hollows such as Girten Hollow, Thornton Hollow, and Clemens Hollow that drain toward the reservoir. The small settlement of Cedarcreek serves as a local hub near the Cedar Creek Cemetery, while the presence of the Bright Elbow Ranch Landing Field suggests the modern adaptation of the land for private aviation alongside traditional ranching. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Lone Tree Mountain and Poor Joe Bald, which overlook the winding reach of Horseshoe Bend. The map documents a landscape where quiet rural life is etched into the ridges, from Cardwell Ridge to the remote valley at Groom.
