2017 Map of Vanzant

About this map

Vanzant and Buckhart are central points of settlement in this Ozark landscape, characterized by a complex network of ridges and deep-set hollows. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks like Twin Knobs and Campbell Hill, while the drainage system of Greasy Cr and Clifty Cr dictates the path of winding county roads. Small crossroads communities such as Drury and Denlow highlight the dispersed settlement pattern typical of Douglas County, where agriculture and forestry meet. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including Vanzant Cem, Tedrick Cem, and Penner Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. A portion of the Mark Twain National Forest occupies the eastern section of the map, illustrating the balance between public conservation lands and private homesteads near White Ridge and Nye Ridge.
