Does anyone have the jepp chart for 14 at branson?

I only had access to the NOS chart (airnav.com) for 14.


And it does not show the "wrong airport" six miles away or any airport except the destination.

the low altitude chart does show the other airports nearby.

I can imagine that the captain and f/o didn't really know the terminal area and that there were other airports nearby. Wondering if they just jumped in the plane and didn't familiarize themselves with pertinent information.

My airline, and I am sure others do too, offer briefing pages for each airport served. Wondering if Southwest's briefing page for branson indicated a nearby airport?
