1950 Map of Cabool SW

About this map

Mountain Grove borders the northwestern edge of this survey, which captures a transitioning rural landscape in the Missouri Ozarks. The map documents a dense network of local education and faith centers that served the small agricultural communities of Clinton and Burdine. While active institutions like Union Chapel and Oak Grove Sch remain central to the community, the map also marks several sites as having already transitioned, such as Pleasant Hill Sch (Abandoned) and Lone Star Sch (Abandoned). The topography is defined by the winding North Fork River and its many tributaries, including Panther Creek and Little Creek. Much of the southern half falls within the protected boundaries of the Mark Twain National Forest, where steep drainages like Hungry Gulch and Creasy Hollow cut through the terrain. Notable local landmarks such as Onyx Cave and the Macedonia Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
