People think montana etc and big mountain ranges but these are small dense "hollers".
Caves everywhere and miles of limestone that is the best known thing to stop radiation. The springs are everywhere and the buffalo river mouth starts there. Some of the last spring water you can drink and not get sick. It is the least able to be contaminated water supply available to the surface of the earth because it all seeps from miles deep limestone which purifies it. From just about any spot at the right elevation you can tap it with minimal effort.
There are many places there you see the sun rise at 10 and set at 3 pm.
Power grid is minimal there. Law enforcement is minimal. Government is minimal. It is isolated and treacherous terrain.
Fish, lakes, wildlife, and the best part is its not near any population center that isn't 100% gun toting people. The locals have had to claw a living from nothing all their lives and it shows.
On just about any hillside a few snipers could take out a regiment of low travelers. Road access is visible from a perch at all locations.
Simply put the entire area is a killing field to those that grew up on that kind of ground.
The roads are the enemy and the only way the enemy can get in. Places like "low gap" are a death trap for an army with a local platoon.
My second pick would be the iron grid around eminence MO.
Wide open spaces are the enemy in survival situations.
Both places are shitholes to any man who wishes to make a decent life for himself doing anything more than surviving.
