1937 Map of Cassville

About this map

The town of Cassville serves as the central hub of this 1930s survey, surrounded by a dense network of rural school districts and family cemeteries that define the Barry County landscape. To the south, Roaring River State Park is already established, featuring a CCC Camp and the notable Roaring River Spring. The topography transitions from the agricultural Butterfield Flat in the north to the deeply incised hollows and ridges of the southern portion, where Panther Cave and a Natural Bridge mark the karst terrain. Railroad activity is prominent, with the St Louis San Francisco and Exeter and the Missouri and Arkansas lines connecting settlements like Exeter, Washburn, and Seligman. Genealogical interest is high throughout the area, with numerous rural landmarks such as True Love Cem, Washburn Prairie Sch, and the Sugar Camp Fire Tower providing precise points of reference for local history.
