1951 Map of Cabool NW

About this map

Dunn (Impo PO) and the northern edges of Mountain Grove anchor this 1951 topographic study of the Ozark plateau across the Wright and Texas County line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous one-room schoolhouses like Brushy Knob Sch, Mt Zion Sch, and Weatherman Sch that served isolated farmsteads before district consolidation. The St. Louis San Francisco railroad corridor runs along the southern edge, paralleled by small settlements such as Fowler and crossroads like Noels Store. Waterways including Hamilton Creek, Beaver Creek, and West Piney Creek cut through the terrain, with family names preserved in landmarks like Stubbs Cem and Canada Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits near the rail line suggests the local extraction industry supporting regional road and track maintenance during the early post-war era.
