About this map

The settlement of Gladden anchor’s the northern reach of this Dent County landscape, where the Ozark terrain is defined by an intricate network of named hollows and spring-fed branches. Central to the local geography is Lake Deeken, held by Deeken Dam, providing a rare open water feature amidst the densely wooded ridges. Further south, the community of Shannondale sits near the confluence of several valleys, including Cyclone Hollow and Store Hollow.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, from the Empire Cemetery in the north to Pilgrims Rest Cemetery and Short Cemetery further south. The map documents the persistent rural character of the area through its drainage systems, such as Little Gladden Creek and the Barren Fork, alongside isolated locales like Halcyon. Numerous family names are preserved through terrain labels like Asbridge Hollow, Meyers Hollow, and Walters Hollow, tracing the ancestral footprint of the region.
