About this map

Calwood and the rural crossroads of Bachelor anchor this portion of Callaway County during the early 1970s. The landscape transitions from the open stretches of Nine Mile Prairie to the dissected drainage basins of Auxvasse Creek and Whetstone Creek. This era shows a community defined by its historical institutions, including numerous country churches such as New Hope Ch, Harmony Ch, and Crown Fork Ch.

Resource extraction is evident at the Claypit near Mc Credie and a central Quarry, while recreation and local development are represented by Leisure Lake. The intricate network of family-named watercourses, such as Harrison Branch, Hunt Branch, and Clarks Branch, provides essential context for genealogists tracing ancestral property lines. The presence of the 70 corridor highlights the region's connection to the broader Missouri transportation network amidst its traditional agricultural and prairie lands.
