About this map

The agrarian landscape of Linn and Missouri counties comes to life in this mid-century survey, defined by a dense network of country schools and family-named cemeteries. The small settlement of Johnstown sits as a central point in an area otherwise characterized by its namesake waterways, including Yellow Creek and its many branches like East Yellow Creek and West Yellow Creek. These stream systems dictate the movement of roads and the placement of community hubs like Nester Chapel and Mt Hope Ch.
