About this map

The hills of Texas and Douglas Counties in the mid-twentieth century reveal a rural landscape transitioning away from its original network of one-room schoolhouses. While Cherry Point Sch and Shady Grove Sch remain active, several others including Gum Spring Sch and Lone Star Sch are already marked as abandoned, reflecting the consolidation of rural education. The terrain is deeply carved by the North Fork and its tributaries like Panther Creek and East Clifty Creek, where the Mark Twain National Forest boundary meets the agricultural lands of Clinton and Burdine townships.

Local landmarks such as Onyx Cave and Macedonia Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers. Community life centers on small ecclesiastical sites like Union Chapel and Pleasant Hill Ch, while the northern edge of the map touches the outskirts of Mountain Grove, showing the area just before modern highway developments altered the traditional road patterns through Creasy Hollow.
