About this map

Lake Wappapello dominates this Missouri landscape, with its irregular shoreline creating a complex geography of peninsulas and points. This 2011 survey details the managed hydrology of the Saint Francis River below the Wappapello Dam. The map documents a blend of public recreation and specialized land use, ranging from the Lake Wappapello State Park and Camp Latonka to the University of Missouri Forestry Camp and the private Davis Air Ranch.

Family history is preserved at the Chaonia Cemetery and Kelly Cemetery, marking the community's roots before the larger engineering projects of the era. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows like Mule Camp Hollow and Possum Hollow, while numerous recreation areas such as Peoples Creek Recreation Area and Pisos Point Recreation Area illustrate the region's contemporary role as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
