Behind the map: land records in Dent County
For land near Anutt, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Check the county government website to see which office records deeds for land near Bangert.

The lay of the land in Dent County
The county seat is Salem; Bunker are among the other communities you can zoom to. Don't overlook unincorporated places like Anutt, Bangert, and Boss, where rural homesites often come up. Organized in 1851, and named for Lewis Dent, a pioneer settler, Dent County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. Census Bureau estimates show 14,647 residents in 2023 and around 753 square miles of land in the county. That is a rural density, so once you leave Anutt expect a patchwork of farm tracts, woodlots and small acreage splits. Mark Twain National Forest is a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
Who uses the Dent County parcel map
A lot of different people around Salem rely on this map. Hunters in Dent County use the owner names to line up permission well before the season. Homesteaders eyeing the country near Bangert use acreage and frontage on the record to narrow a long list to a few tracts worth visiting. House hunters looking at Bunker use the parcel record as a free check on the listing: lot size, legal description and last recorded sale.
What the Dent County parcel map shows about lot lines
A Dent County parcel map is built for assessment, not construction. In Dent County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Out past Bunker, rural deeds usually cite a section, township and range, and those section lines often show on the parcel layer. If a neighbor's fence near Bunker and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Hunting land and landowner permission in Dent County
Most hunting ground in Dent County is privately owned, and the parcel map is how you find out whose it is. Around Mark Twain National Forest, private tracts can press right up against the public boundary, so check the lines before you walk in. For licenses, seasons and public hunting land, go to the Missouri Department of Conservation. In the field near Anutt, respect posted signs and painted boundaries even where the map line looks different.
Data limits to keep in mind
Splits and sales near Bangert can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. For a rural tract near Bangert, get acreage from a survey, not the tax record, if it matters for a deal.
