Neongwah is an unincorporated community in Camden County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] The community sits above the Niangua River arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. Missouri Route 5 passes just east of the community and Camdenton is three miles to the southeast. [2]
A post office called Neongwah was established in 1927, and remained in operation until 1933. [3] The community most likely derives its name from the Niangua River. [4]
Lake of the Ozarks is a reservoir created by impounding the Osage River in the northern part of the Ozarks in central Missouri. Parts of three smaller tributaries to the Osage are included in the impoundment: the Niangua River, Grandglaize Creek, and Gravois Creek. The lake has a surface area of 54,000 acres (220 km2) and 1,150 miles (1,850 km) of shoreline. The main channel of the Osage Arm stretches 92 miles (148 km) from one end to the other. The total drainage area is over 14,000 square miles (36,000 km2). The lake's serpentine shape has earned it the nickname "the Missouri Dragon", which has, in turn, inspired the names of local institutions such as the Magic Dragon Street Meet.
The Niangua River is a 125-mile-long (201 km) tributary of the Osage River in the Ozarks region of southern and central Missouri in the United States. Via the Osage and Missouri rivers it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
