1958 Map of Shirley

About this map

Sunnen Lake and the winding course of the Fourche a Renault define the central landscape of this late-1950s survey within the Clark National Forest. The settlement of Shirley serves as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities, which are mapped with a high density of country churches and family burial grounds. Local history is recorded through landmarks such as Lost Creek Ch, White Oak Grove Ch, and Bunker Hill Ch, alongside several cemeteries including Stephens Cem and Martin Cem. The geography is further characterized by numerous creek branches like Montgomery Creek and Race Creek, which carve through the Ozark terrain near Belgrade. High points like Little Pilot Knob and a strategic Lookout Tower reflect the area's forest management history, while Camp Lakewood indicates the region's development for recreational use during the mid-century era.
