About this map

Calhoun and the village of Roseland anchor this mid-century Missouri landscape, where the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts across the northern terrain. The rural character of the region is defined by its network of community buildings, including schools like Edgewood Sch and Oakdale Sch, and local congregations at Oak Grove Ch and Mt Olivet Ch. These features speak to a period of dispersed agrarian life before major topographical changes took hold.

A significant hydrological shift is documented here with the presence of the Harry S Truman Reservoir Normal Pool 706 along the southern boundary, where the waters meet the lower reaches of Tebo Creek and Barker Creek. The interplay between the established rural infrastructure and the encroaching reservoir waters provides a detailed look at the changing geography of the Henry and Benton county line during the later revisions of this survey.
