About this map

Table Rock Lake dominates the center of this Ozark landscape, its complex shoreline winding through the Mark Twain National Forest. The map captures the intersection of Barry and Stone Counties, where settlements like Viola and Shell Knob are established along the ridges and peninsulas created by the reservoir. This modern survey illustrates how recreation and rural life coexist, with The Peninsula Airport situated on a narrow strip of land surrounded by water.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Viola Cemetery, McGuire Cemetery, and Field Cemetery scattered among the wooded hollows. The terrain is defined by named landmarks like Pilot Knob and Big Joe Bald, while smaller communities such as Carr Lane and Nauvoo occupy the southern reaches. The intricate network of Forest Service roads and county routes, including YY-1 and Holiday Point Rd, highlights the area's transition from traditional timberland to a residential and lakeside destination.
