About this map

Lake of the Ozarks dominates this 1932 topographic survey, capturing the region just after the completion of the Bagnell Dam. The map documents a landscape in transition, where new settlements like Osage Beach and Camdenton appear alongside established community hubs such as Linn Creek. The elevation data and shoreline contours illustrate the dramatic impact of the impounded waters on the local topography, particularly around Glaize and Aug Laize.

Educational and social life is well-documented through numerous rural landmarks, including Watson Sch, Jeffries Sch, and China Sch, as well as the Riverview Church overlooking the river. Genealogists can trace family plots at Popplewell Cem or locate the small settlement at Toronto along the winding Grand Auglaize Creek. The presence of State Highway No 5 indicates the growing transportation network facilitating development in Camden and Miller counties.
