About this map

The White River defines the western edge of this territory, where the community of Augusta serves as a prominent riverfront hub. The town's grid is dense with civic landmarks, including the Courthouse and the Conner High Sch, while New Augusta sits just to the south along the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The landscape reflects a well-established rural economy, where small settlements like Fitzhugh and Negro Head Corner are connected by a network of drainage features like Taylor Bay and Cypress Brake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous rural burial grounds and congregations scattered across the township, such as Mt Olive Cem Ch, Quiett Cem, and the New Salem Ch. The presence of the Cypress Creek Country Club and Roadside Park alongside active industry like the Powerplant and Substation illustrates the mid-century development of Woodruff County during this era.
