About this map

Pomme De Terre Lake dominates this landscape along the border of Hickory and Polk counties, its multi-fingered shoreline created by the inundation of the Lindley Creek valley and various tributaries. Small lakeside communities and recreational hubs such as Pittsburg, Nemo, and Adonis serve as anchors for the many boat ramps and public use areas that dot the shore, including the Wheatland Public Use Area and Lightfoot Public Use Area.

Beyond the water's edge, the map reveals a rural Ozark interior where traditional community markers remain prominent. Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through a network of country churches and burial grounds, such as Twin Cedars Chapel, Oak Grove Ch, and Chamberlain Cem. The presence of the Ski Harbor Landing Strip and the Quarry near Pittsburg points to the area's mix of recreational tourism and local industry. Settlements like Sentinel and Mohawk Corner mark the high ground between the drainage basins of Stinking Creek and Ingalls Creek.
