1974 Map of Americus

About this map

Americus sits at the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, where the Loutre River and its many tributaries, such as Pinch Creek, Dishwater Creek, and Clear Creek, carve through the Missouri terrain. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting numerous family burial sites including Bryant Cem, Clark Cem, Gentry Cem, and Bush Cem scattered across the rural landscape. In the northeast, the Danville State Wildlife Area provides a contrast to the agricultural and extractive activities indicated by a Claypit near the southern boundary. The local education system is represented by the Big Spring R-1 Sch, while the presence of a Substation and a network of named branches like Morrow Branch and Lichte Branch illustrate the local infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of the mid-1970s.
