1971 Map of Arley
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Lilly and Arley serve as the primary focal points of this rural landscape where the border of Clinton and Clay counties meets. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Owl Creek, Eberts Branch, and Camp Branch, which feed into Clear Creek. The area’s genealogical record is remarkably well-preserved on this sheet, featuring numerous family and community burial grounds such as Fairview Cem, Eberts Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Cook Cem. In the southern portion near the Gilmore Branch, the Mt Gilead Ch and Ecton Cem stand as markers of long-established community centers. The distribution of these small cemeteries and churches suggests a settlement pattern of independent farmsteads and small rural hamlets common to western Missouri during the early 1970s.
