1948 Map of Argo

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Little Bourbeuse River winds through this 1948 survey of the Missouri Ozarks, marking a landscape defined by small, family-centric settlements along the borders of Franklin and Crawford Counties. The community of Argo serves as a local hub, supported by the Argo School and nearby rural institutions like Fairview School and Mound School. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, including the Martin Cemetery, Underwood Cemetery, and Helms Cemetery, illustrating the lineage of those who farmed the upland ridges between the Logan Branch and Brush Creek. To the north, the curiously named settlement of Japan is documented alongside the Old Japan Cemetery. The southeastern corner shows the influence of the St. Louis and San Francisco rail lines, which provided vital connections for this rural area during the mid-century era.
