1951 Map of Cabool

About this map

Cabool serves as a central hub on this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of the St Louis and San Francisco RR and major regional roadways. The landscape is defined by the intersection of four counties—Wright, Texas, Douglas, and Howell—and the sprawling tracts of the Mark Twain National Forest to the south. This era reveals a high density of rural institutions, particularly many neighborhood schools like Simmons School and Gravel Point School, several of which are already noted as abandoned, such as Gum Spring School and Excelsior School.
