About this map

Cabool serves as the focal point for this early 1950s survey of Texas County, situated at the confluence of U.S. 60 and U.S. 63. The northern half of the quadrangle is defined by the agricultural and railroad activity along the ST Louis - San Francisco line, which connects the town to smaller settlements like Sargent and Sterling. This corridor is dotted with local institutions like the Sargent Sch and Sargent Cem.

South of the railroad, the landscape shifts into the protected timberlands of the Mark Twain National Forest. This area is characterized by a high density of rural schoolhouses and churches, including Union Sch, Ozark Sch, and the Forest Flower Sch (Abandoned), indicating a legacy of small, dispersed communities within the Ozark foothills. The Sterling Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over these forested hollows, such as Sterling Hollow and Tick Hollow, which drain toward Indian Creek.
