1924 Map of Braymer

About this map

Braymer and Cowgill anchor this Missouri landscape at a time when rural education and agriculture defined the township structure across Caldwell and Ray Counties. The map reveals a dense network of country schools, including uniquely named landmarks like the Brown Jug School, Liberty Bell School, and Frog Pond School, which served the farming families of the Fairview and New York districts. These small schoolhouses are spaced nearly every few miles, highlighting the pedestrian-scale geography of the early 1920s.
