About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates the central landscape of this late 1960s Ozark plateau survey, its sprawling fingers reaching into the deep hollows of southern Ozark Co Missouri and northern Marion Co Arkansas. The map illustrates the transformation of the region following the reservoir's creation, showing the relocated settlement of Theodosia perched above the water and the Theodosia Hills Landing Strip nearby.

Genealogists can find critical markers of the area's rural heritage in the scattered family and community landmarks that survived the landscape's inundation, including Lutie Cem, Hicks Cem, and Fairview Cem. Upland features like Chain Link Mountain, Peacock Bald, and Holt Bald rise sharply between the water-carved ravines of Turkey Creek and Lick Creek, marking the high ground above the Mark Twain National Forest boundary.
