1959 Map of Shawnee Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

South Grand River and the South River converge here in Benton County, where the rising waters of the Lake of the Ozarks begin to fill the deep valley floors. The landscape is defined by the sinuous path of the Osage River and dramatic terrain features like the Devils Backbone and Kaysinger Bluff. While Warsaw anchors the southeast corner, the interior of the sheet is dominated by rural townships such as Lindsey and Shawnee Bend. This 1950s survey documents a network of country schools and churches, including Racket Sch and Hickory Chapel, before the full impact of major reservoir development. Family-named cemeteries like Kinkead Cem and Baugh Cem are scattered across the timbered hollows, including Sugarcamp Hollow and Barber Hollow, providing a detailed record of the local genealogy during this era of transition.
