1950 Map of Cabool SW

About this map

Mark Twain National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Ozark survey, where the North Fork River carves its way through the rugged terrain of Douglas and Texas Counties. The map reveals a mid-century rural network transitioning as several small community centers show signs of consolidation. Numerous local schools, such as Gum Spring Sch and Excelsior Sch, are noted as abandoned, while institutions like Shady Grove Sch and Cherry Point Sch remained active at the time of the 1950 field check.
