1951 Map of Cabool NE

About this map

The Big Piney River carves a winding path through this central Missouri landscape, where the rural townships of Morrison, Cass, Burdine, and Sargent converge. In the early 1950s, the area's social fabric was centered on a network of country schools and churches, including Oak Grove School, Simmons School, and Providence Church. The town of Cabool occupies the southwestern corner, serving as a transit point where the St. Louis San Francisco railroad meets major roads like 60 and 63. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named burial grounds and landmarks, such as Hamilton Creek Cemetery and Altis Cemetery, while the presence of the Cabool Airport reflects the mid-century modernization of this Ozark plateau region. Numerous tributaries, including Hamilton Creek, Dry Fork, and Berry Branch, define the local topography and historical property boundaries.
