About this map

Gila sits at the heart of this landscape where Sinking Cr and Little Sinking Cr converge in the southern reaches of the Mark Twain National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of named hollows, many reflecting local family history such as Chatman Hollow, Nash Hollow, and Hellums Hollow. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain where water sources were clearly vital to early settlement patterns, indicated by the locations of Sugar Tree Grove Spring and Highley Spring.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites scattered across the hills, including Bay Cemetery, Hanning Cemetery, and Swiney Cemetery. The map also traces the boundary between Dent and Shannon counties, showing how the rural road system, including Co RD 557 and Co RD 270, navigates the complex ridges. In the southeast, Loggers Lake provides a clear landmark within the forested interior of the Ozark Highlands.
