PAD-US places this spot on Harry Truman Recreation Area, land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. PAD-US marks it as open to the public. Park rules, fees and seasonal closures can still apply. Another parcel starts within a quarter mile: Truman Reservoir Management Lands. Ruins often spread across more than one owner.
