1955 Map of Day

About this map

Bull Creek carves a deep valley through the Ozark plateau on this mid-century survey, creating a landscape defined by sharp ridges and winding hollows. The settlement at Day and the community around Cook represent the small, scattered nodes of residency in a region heavily dominated by the Mark Twain National Forest. The map captures a high density of rural institutions that often served as the social glue for these isolated homesteads, including New Haven Ch, Oak Ridge Ch, and Pleasant Shade Ch.
