1936 Map of Shawnee Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Lake of the Ozarks dominates this 1936 survey, showing the intricate, branching shoreline created by the impoundment of the Grand River and its many tributaries. The map captures the Benton County landscape as it adjusted to the newly formed reservoir, featuring the Long Shoal Bridge and prominent landmarks like Kasinger Bluff. Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of country schools such as Cherrydale Sch and Gern Hill Sch, along with community anchors like Shady Grove Ch and Hickory Chapel. To the southeast, the settlement of Warsaw sits at the edge of the rising waters, while the small community of Racket persists near the western edge. This era's terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Devils Backbone and numerous hollows, including Crawfish Hollow and Wilson Hollow, which provided the natural drainage for this complex river system.
