1981 Map of Short Bend
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Meramec River winds through the heart of this Dent County landscape, defining a region where water and relief create a complex network of hollows and springs. In the late 1970s, the small settlement of Short Bend served as a local focal point near the northern river bend, while the surrounding hillsides are dotted with legacy sites including Kent Chapel and New Home Ch. The map reveals a deeply etched topography where Dry Valley Creek and Spring Creek converge, feeding into the larger river system.
