About this map

The Grand River and Chariton River converge near the Missouri River in this mid-century survey of the bottomlands south of Brunswick. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the river basin, featuring numerous levees and the distinct Cut-off Lake. The Wabash railroad corridor cuts a straight line through the floodplains, providing a stark contrast to the winding paths of Lake Creek and Palmer Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several rural schools such as Manson Sch and Hazel Ridge Sch, alongside several that were already noted as abandoned by 1951, including Hickory Grove Sch (Abandoned) and Warden Sch (Abandoned). The placement of Prairie Chapel Cem, Elliott Grove Cem, and Prairie Dell Cem provides essential spatial context for families from the Brunswick and Keytesville townships.
