1955 Map of Shawnee Bend

About this map

The Lake of the Ozarks and the Grand River dominate this mid-century survey of Benton County, Missouri. Based on field work conducted in 1936, the map documents a rural landscape defined by steep ridges and winding hollows such as Wilson Hollow and Little Barber Hollow. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous country schools and small churches that served isolated farming communities, including Cherrydale Sch, Limestone Sch, and Hickory Chapel. Along the river's edge, dramatic natural landmarks like Devils Backbone and Kasinger Bluff overlook the sprawling water system. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of family-named sites such as Baugh Cem and Kinkead Cem, as well as the proximity of these landmarks to the old road networks through White and Hindsey townships.
