1967 Map of Loggers Lake

About this map

Sinking Creek winds through the heart of this mid-1960s Ozark landscape, carving a complex network of hollows across the border of Dent and Shannon Counties. Much of the terrain is protected within the Clark National Forest, characterized by deep valleys like Dead Horse Hollow and Minninghaw Hollow. Small, isolated cemeteries such as Swiney Cem, Bay Cem, and Delmar Cem are found near the creek beds, providing critical location data for genealogists tracking family burials in this wooded interior. The hydrology of the region is further defined by substantial springs including Sugar Tree Grove Spring and Highley Spring, alongside subterranean features like Cave Spring Cave. In the southeastern corner, Loggers Lake and its adjacent Campgrounds mark a clear recreational shift in land use for this otherwise timber-focused environment.
