About this map

Bunker stands as the primary hub in this portion of the Ozarks during the mid-1940s, situated near the intersection of the Dent and Reynolds County line. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Logan Creek and Bee Fork, which carve through a dense network of timberland within the Clark National Forest. Settlement patterns follow the hollows and ridge-lines, with clusters of civic life anchored by small schools like Black Hill Sch and Sutterfield Sch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including the Latter Day Saints Ch near Dagonia and numerous family-named burial sites such as Chitwood Cem and Nuckols Cem. The presence of the Bunker Lookout on the high ground near Gordon Hollow underscores the region's reliance on forest management and fire observation during this era, while smaller settlements like Fruit City and Corridon illustrate the dispersed rural community structure before modern consolidation.
