Waterfront Boundary Work on Table Rock
The Army Corps of Engineers has contracted with survey crews to conduct maintenance along portions of the public boundary line that surrounds Table Rock Lake. This line is commonly called the TAKE LINE by residents, as the Corps literally 'takes' the land from the predetermined survey, and from that line to the water's edge, the land is not usable by the landowners. It belongs to the Corps of Engineers.
Crews are working on the northeast bank north of The Chateau On The Lake, continuing northwest to Stormy Point. Work will also be starting on the east shore of Indian Creek, continuing to the west side of Little Indian Creek Arm, covering both Indian Creeks in Indian Point area. Areas off JJ Peninsula both east and west sides will also be included in the work.
The maintenance will consist of re-establishing existing Corps boundary lines by locating survey monuments, clearing brush along the boundary line on the public land, replacing and painting boundary line posts, and painting trees between the survey monuments to serve as reference points.
Encroachments on public property (past the Take-Line) are being documented such as sheds, houses, decks, excessive mowing, unauthorized paths, tree cutting and personal property stored on public land.
The Corps manages Table Rock Lake and the surrounding public lands to meet the needs of human and natural communities. For additional information, call Park Ranger Clint Moore at 417-334-4101.
