About this map

The Bull Shoals Lake reservoir dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its controlled inundation pattern following the winding path of the White River and Horseshoe Bend. Established in the late 1960s, this survey captures the intersection of the Ozark hills and the evolving shoreline, where older riverine landmarks like Poor Joe Bald and Lone Tree Mountain overlook the rising waters. The Missouri-Arkansas border cuts across the southern reaches, marking the boundary between Taney and Boone counties.

Rural life is anchored at Cedarcreek, while the hills are dotted with family and community sites such as Cedar Creek Cem, Hankins Cem, and Wyman Ch. Aviation history is noted by the Bright Elbow Ranch Landing Field situated near the lake's northern arms. Much of the northern terrain is managed within the Mark Twain National Forest, characterized by complex drainage systems like Buck Hollow and Elbow Creek.
