About this map

The complex shoreline of Table Rock Lake dominates this modern landscape, where deep hollows and wooded ridges meet the water along the border of Barry and Stone Counties. The settlement of Shell Knob occupies the high ground in the northwest, while the community of Viola sits centrally at the intersection of local routes near the Viola Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages, such as Lucy Smith Hollow, Hardman Hollow, and Little Wolfpen Hollow, reflecting the Ozark Plateau's characteristic topography.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds across the area, including McGuire Cem and McCullough Cem. Land use is a mix of residential growth and conservation, with large sections designated as part of the Mark Twain National Forest. From the aviation facility at The Peninsula Airport to the southern reach of Carr Lane and Nauvoo, the map preserves the contemporary layout of these longstanding Missouri communities.
