About this map

The newly formed Lake of the Ozarks dominates this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating the dramatic transformation of the Osage River valley into a recreational and residential hub. The map captures the intricate shoreline of newly flooded branches, including Buck Creek and Gravois Creek, where rugged bluffs like Folsom Bluff and Hurricane Deck overlook the rising waters. This period marks the early development of Sunrise Beach and the presence of the Lakewood Club, signaling the area's shift toward a tourism-based economy shortly after the completion of Bagnell Dam.
