1957 Map of Bogard

About this map

Bogard serves as a central rail point in this Carroll County landscape, defined by the path of the Chicago Burlington And Quincy railroad. The map documents a rural agricultural community during the mid-20th century, where the small settlement of Mandeville and the rail-side Aalberg Siding provide glimpses into the local economy and transport network. The terrain is marked by the prominent Mound Bogard and drained by a complex system of waterways including Big Creek and Wakenda Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family history markers, locating several small burial grounds such as Smith Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Streets Cem. These cemeteries, along with local congregations at Mc Croskie Ch and the Church of Christ, provide a look at the social and religious centers that anchored these Missouri townships.
