2017 Map of Viola

About this map

Table Rock Lake dominates this landscape along the border of Barry and Stone Counties, its intricate shoreline creating numerous inlets like Quail Cove and Big Bay. The topography is defined by deeply incised hollows such as Hardman Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow that drain toward the reservoir. While large portions of the area are managed as part of the Mark Twain National Forest, established communities and clusters of residential development persist at Viola and Shell Knob. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including the Viola Cem and McGuire Cem, which remain as markers of the area's early settlement. The presence of The Peninsula Airport and Discovery Bay at Norwalk Landing reflects the modern transition of this region into a center for recreation and aviation, contrasting with the remote character of the surrounding timberland.
