1969 Map of Boswell

About this map

Boswell serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the St Louis San Francisco railroad. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring the Restland Cem and a nearby Sewage Disposal Pond, illustrating the community's mid-century infrastructure. To the north, the McLeod Honor Farm occupies a significant portion of the river bottomlands near the meandering Muddy Boggy Creek. This waterway and its many offshoots, including Edmond Slough and Tanyard Creek, create a complex drainage pattern that has shaped the local geography. Rural life is anchored by scattered landmarks like the Fish Hatchery and several country churches such as St James Ch No 2 and Oak Ridge Ch. Family and local history can be traced through small burial grounds like Pierce Cem and Holder Cem, which are tucked away near the oxbow lakes of the Clear Boggy Creek valley.
