1951 Map of Cabool NE

About this map

The Big Piney River and its numerous tributaries, including Hamilton Creek and Potter Creek, define the landscape of this Missouri Ozarks region at the midpoint of the century. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural and decentralized, anchored by rural institutions such as Hamilton Creek Ch, Pleasant Grove Sch, and Oak Grove Sch. Near the northern edge of the sheet, the community of Simmons sits along the rail line, while the northern outskirts of Cabool appear at the southern margin near the Cabool Airport. Transportation and commerce are tied to the St Louis San Francisco railroad, which cuts through the eastern half of the area. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local family-named landmarks and resting places, from Alfis Cem to the Rocky Branch Cem in the northeast.
