About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a diagonal path across this Carroll County landscape, serving the primary settlement of Bogard and the nearby Aalberg Siding. This late 1950s survey captures a rural Missouri community in a state of transition, evidenced by the presence of Star Sch and Trotter Sch, reflecting the consolidation of local rural school districts.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the Smith Cem and Ebenezer Cem in the northern townships of Leslie and Van Horn, to the Trotter Cem and Mt Zion Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Big Quincy Creek and McCroskie Creek define the topography, while the northern village of Mandoville remains a distinct marker of early county settlement. The map also identifies local spiritual centers like the McCroskie Ch and the Church of Christ.
